Is this a sign of perimenopause?

My periods as a teenager were always irregular as I was an athlete. This didn’t surprise me or my doctor at all. Only once I became pregnant in my twenties did they start to "normalize" and become more regular…but they’ve always been fairly heavy and prolonged. Usually lasting 7-10 days, with fairly strong cramping starting the day before my bleeding and lasting through the entire period until the day before it ended.
Recently though, my periods have suddenly become irregular again. The one before last was two whole weeks early and unusually light, with mild to no cramping. Then not even three weeks later I started again but this time the cramping was severe and the bleeding extreme! I’m only 43yrs old and early menopause does not run in my family that I know of. Could this be perimenopause?




How are Fibroid Tumors formed?

Do I have Fibroid Tumors?
If so, how are they formed?
I have serious problems with my periods:

Excessive bleeding for numerous days out of my cycle
Extensive periods
VERY painful cramping

It feels like I’m losing so much blood when I have my periods, and i’m only a teenager.
Can anybody help?
This is killing me!







This is really embarrassing, and I’m afraid my boyfriend will get kinda grossed out, so, what should I do? Ever since I was little I’ve been kind of hairy, but now that I’m a teenager it bothers me and I think it’s kind of embarrassing, and I’m afraid guys might think it’s gross…… I have wispy blondeish-white hairs all over my back, stomach, arms, and even a bit on my BUTT!!!! I don’t think it’s normal, and I read it could be a hormonal imbalance, but it’s always been this way!!! I don’t have a mustache or anything, but I’m just HAIRY! And I find it gross even sometimes, so do I have a hormonal imbalance or am I just naturally hairy? And if it’s just naturally what can I do so that the hair won’t grow back thicker? Thanks

What is the process when you have fertility issues?




I have been off birth control for 16 months and have not gotten pregnant. I have regular periods and ovulate. Me and my husband are in our mid twenties. I had cyst on my ovaries when I was a teenager but that is the only issue I’ve ever had. What could be the possible problems and if we sought out fertility help, what is the process?

Vaginal dryness… it won't go away… please help?




Okay, so during the summer, for about two and a half months i experienced vaginal dryness. Basically it was itchy and painful. at first i thought it was a yeast infection so i used those kits, but then i realized that it was dryness because i was having minimal discharge (yeah, i’m dumb for mistaking dryness for wetness but…) anyway it went away in… probably early september, and its been gone until now. i just got my period less than a year ago, so it’s not like it’s menopause or anything. i’ve been using the replens stuff that’s supposed to make it less dry, and it works, but only for a little while. i have no other symptoms other than the dryness/itching/pain. i haven’t gone to a gynocologist, and i’m really afraid if i have to go. what’s the cause of this, and how is it treating? i’m only a teenager, and doesn’t this just happen to women in menopause? oh, and my cycles are pretty regular, if that’s relevant.

Premature menopause… help!?




Ok im 16. Not a virgin. Me and my boyfriend have intercourse for the past 5 months and it’s been fine. But recently I’ve noticed changes in my body. And my boyfriend looked it up and was extremely worried that i had a lot of symptoms of premature menopause. Without going into detail but i have mood swings (ok im a teenager but they have gotten extreme), dry eyes and dry mouths, irregular periods (i’ve always had that since i was 14 i will have them randomly and not too often), down below not creating much fluids very dry, intercourse is quite painful due to it being t!ght (it wasn’t that much before), weight loss but the thing that doesn’t fit in is my breasts are so much bigger within the space of a week i must have gone up a cup size. I took a pregnancy test it wasn’t it came up negative. Is it premature menopause or anything else it could be? I can’t easily access a doctor so i would just like your thoughts for now please.

If a teenager suffers from a hormonal imbalance, what effects would be seen out and within the body once it has been corrected?

can a 17 year old end up with menopause?




I’m 17, and i did look up some symptoms of menopause because of the irregularities I’ve been experiencing. So i got curious, and I’m suspecting i might be ending up with menopause anytime soon… so, is it possible for a teenager to end up with menopause? In jan, my period only lasted for around 4 days.. Feb around 3. March around 2… and now its around just one day and it already stopped. So im kind of confused.

Also, if a girl hits menopause, is it still possible to get pregnant? i found many different answers some saying no while other say yes.. so im kind of confused.

thanks a whole bunch in advance.

I am a 15 year old boy and have only recently been having hot flushes and a slightly red face for a period of time. I never used to have this when i was younger and i am curious if this will ever go away? Is it something to do with been a teenager and hormones?
Thanks for any help, much appreciated




I’m a 17 year old girl and lately I’ve been feeling very horny or aroused. My period passed two weeks ago and here I am, feeling so desperate every minute today. I’ve masturbated twice but I still feel so hornyy!!!! I’ve also never had a boyfriend if this matters. Is this normal since I’m still a teenager or I need to get my hormone levels checked?

Thanks- Anonymous
