What kind of symptoms are you experiencing? Hot flashes and night sweats as I could have noticed from the post? Anything else like…..i don’t know…..moodiness, constant quarrels with your loved ones (especially husband), low sexual desire, dry vagina, etc…..

Have your periods started fluctuating as well? It doesn’t have to mean that you are menopausal but you could be perimenopausal. Peri-menopause may even start as early as 35 years and last for 10 years.

You could see a gynecologist and have your hormonal levels checked. If you have low estrogen levels due to slowing down of the ovaries you will have high levels of FSH hormone that will be trying to make the ovaries produce estrogen. This kind of hormonal situation indicates (peri)menopause.
