Question 3

i am getting some hot flashes but i am only 30, so too young?

Accepted Answer

Yes: By definition, menopause not begin before age 35.  While it is possible to undergo premature menopause (defined as absence of periods because of ovarian failure before age 35), it is extremely rare.  If your fsh, lh, and serum Estradiol are normal, the hot flushes are not from menopause.  If you are still having periods, it is very unlikely the hot flushes are from menopause.

i am 20 years and sometimes i feel really hot when i'm in cold places. could it be hot flashes or am i too young for that?

Accepted Answer

Too young: If you are having regular periods then you are not at risk for hot flashes or early menopause.  Sounds like you are having more of a vasodilation effect from the cold.  This has more to do with your parasympathetic nervous system than hormones.  Also consider getting your thyroid checked as that can cause temperature misregulation.  See a doctor if persists or worsens or bothers you.
