When you have had no menstrual periods for 1 year, you have reached menopause. While the average age of menopause is around 50, every woman’s body has its own unique timeline. Some women stop menstruating in their mid-40s, and others continue well into their mid-50s. Perimenopause means "around menopause." It refers to the 2 to 8 years of changing hormone levels—and the symptoms they cause—leading up to menopause. The most common sign of perimenopause is longer, often irregular menstrual cycles that are caused by hormonal ups and downs. Most women start perimenopause between ages 39 and 51. 1 Some women begin to notice menstrual changes and premenstrual syndrome (PMS) symptoms in their late 30s, when hormone levels begin to change and fertility naturally declines. Other women don’t notice menopause changes until their late 40s. Postmenopause begins after 1 year of having no menstrual periods. Hormone levels continue to decline, and menopause symptoms tend to persist or increase into the first year or more of postmenopause.
well there are extremes… but if ur not feeling any changes then ur alrite.. dont worry…
There is a blood test that can be done that will tell if you’re in menopause or not. 35 is young but not out of the question. I really think your best bet would be to see your doctor and have him order the blood work up. That will give you an answer and put your mind to rest. Good luck.
it is possible to start menopause as early as in your 20s, it´s a hormonal thing, but if you have no symptoms i wouldn´t worry about it
It may sound depressing but yes. You started earlier than most girls (12 to 16 is normal age). Its all about hormones controlling your body clock.
The menopause occurs between the ages of 45 to 50. The average age is about 47 yrs. Occasionally it is seen that women menstruate quite regularly at 55 due to improvement in the general health and environmental conditions of women. It has certainly nothing to do with parity or the age at which the menopause occurs. In some women the menstruation cases abrubtly during the third decade of life without producing any disturbances of the general health. So it is possible that the menopause may occur at age of 35. Anyhow exclude any other condition for the stoppage of menstruation and make it sure it is menopause only.
