Menopause

Premature Menopause

Premature menopause is menopause that occurs before the age of 40 years. Menopause is a condition in women in which they permanently stop getting their periods. Reaching menopause typically means that they can no longer become pregnant naturally. Early menopause can happen naturally if a woman's ovaries stop making normal levels of certain hormones, particularly the hormone oestrogen.
While there is no guarantee you can prevent early menopause, you can manage symptoms by consulting with your doctor.

Treatment
Early menopause can be induced by some medical treatments such as surgery or chemotherapy. Women who experience early or premature menopause may need hormone therapy to reduce the risk of diseases such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. You can work with the doctor to come up with a plan that may include hormone replacement therapy, medication, or lifestyle changes.
