Why does it happen?
Although the cause of premature and early menopause can’t always be found, there are several possible causes, including:
<ul>
<li>genetics</li>
<li>lifestyle factors e.g. smoking, lack of exercise</li>
<li>autoimmune disease e.g. thyroid disease</li>
<li>chromosome defects</li>
</ul>
What are the symptoms?
The main symptom of early menopause is the changes to your periods. They may become infrequent before completely stopping within a few months or a year. They can also stop suddenly.
Other menopausal symptoms can include hot flushes, vaginal dryness, fatigue, sleep problems, night sweats and a loss of libido. These symptoms might start months or sometimes years before your periods halt.
In cases of early and premature menopause, symptoms can be more intense and inconsistent.
Unexpected menopause may also trigger some complicated emotions which should be discussed with a counsellor.
Are there any effective at-home remedies?
Menopausal women can stay cool and fight off hot flushes and night sweats with cold showers, light clothing, fans and cold drinks. A healthy diet and regular exercise can also reduce these symptoms. You should also avoid smoking and consuming spicy foods, caffeine and alcohol.
Vaginal dryness can cause irritation, discomfort and pain during sex, which is a huge part of life for many women. However, applying lubricant and vaginal moisturisers can provide temporary relief and make intercourse more comfortable.
Many consider vaginal dryness a sign of ageing, which can cause feelings of embarrassment for young women experiencing premature menopause. But vaginal dryness can affect women of all ages, even before menopause.
It isn’t anything to be ashamed of and shouldn’t be ignored.
