5 Signs of Early Menopause Symptoms

By Christina Broun


For most women menopause begins around age 45, with the process completing approximately seven to ten years later, depending upon the women. However, one woman out of every one hundred experience early menopause symptoms. Depending on the age of the woman, these symptoms can be misinterpreted or missed completely, especially if the woman is very young. Here are some of the signs to watch for to detect early menopause.1- The most commonly noticed early menopause symptom is irregular bleeding. However, this is the most unpredictable symptom as well; it is different for every woman. Some women experience occasional bleeding, excessive bleeding or irregular menstrual cycles with more or less time between them. It is very common among premenopausal women to miss one or more menstrual cycles and then have one or two in a row, only to start missing them again.

A Few Common Early Menopause Symptoms: Hot Flashes:Hot flashes are among the most popular symptoms that women experience. About 75 to 85 percent of menopausal women will have hot flashes, also referred to as night sweats if they occur while trying to sleep at night. This is true no matter if the menopause is early or happens around the normal time. This sign is more prevalent if your menopause begins prior to turning 50 years old. Women who have had an induced menopause are much more likely to experience hot flashes, as close to 90 percent of these women experience them.

3- Mood swings are often sited as an early menopause symptom; however, there is not any conclusive research to that effect. It is now being thought that the changes in mood may be more directly related to the lack of sleep that some women experience because of night sweats. This is an especially valid idea if the woman has a history of depression, this history added to the loss in sleep can cause the mood swings.

In the case of irritability, mood swings, depression, and anxiety, they will all come and go randomly during menopause. If these menopause symptoms persist consistently for an extended period of time, more than a week or two, it is time to contact a doctor. If these symptoms become too severe, they could start to adversely affect your life. A doctor will have the tools to assess the problem and come up with a treatment plan.

5- Premenopausal like symptoms can also be caused by excessive weight. For example, many obese women do not have normal menstrual cycles and experience irregular bleeding patterns. It is important to speak with your health care provider if you feel that you are experiencing any of these early menopause symptoms, they will be able to rule out any other health related issues.
