 Posted: 06/05/06 - 22:02 Post subject: Premenapause |
  |
|
| I'm 35 years old, and since last October, I've experienced my monthly cycles every 3 weeks, which they used to come on time. I've stopped taking birth control pills. I know I'm not pregnant. I have 1 child and we're not having anymore (meaning my husband and I). Is this a sign of premenapause? I said something to my doctor, but he said this is normal. I was normal before, but not anymore. Please help. |

Although, pre-menopause symptoms may occur at the age of 35, there are many other possible health-related causes of menstrual irregularities that should be investigated before making any conclusions.
Sometimes can menstrual irregularities appoint an underlying medical condition. It doesn’t have to be anything serious but it might.
For example, hormonal imbalance influences menstrual cycles. This goes for both sexual hormones as well as for thyroid hormones. You may ask your doctor to perform a blood test and have your hormonal levels checked. Both over and under production of thyroid hormone could cause changes in menstrual patterns.
Different benign growth inside of the uterus may be also responsible for your symptoms, so your doc may order an ultrasound to check the genital organs and looking for polyps, fibroids or ovarian cysts.
Other medical conditions can also influence periods, so if you feel something may be wrong, you should ask your doc to take you seriously and have some examinations for the piece of your mind if nothing else. |
