"perimenopase" ? : At 38, drops in estrogen which are more dramatic than those in prior decades of life can produce exaggerated symptoms of estrogen withdrawal as described (mood swings, hot flashes, etc.).

Accepted Answer

I : I am sorry you are going through this.  You may want to consider seeing a gynecologist, as there are treatments available for severe menopause symptoms.  Some women respond to healthy diet and exercise, but some women need medical intervention for their severe symptoms.

Question 5

do you get hot flashes before u start ur period?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can: Hot flashes are common at your age and are related to a decrease in estrogen production by your ovaries which leads to instability of the 'thermoregulatory' center of your brain.  This leads to spontaneous peripheral vasodilation and the resultant 'hot flash'.  At the end of your cycle, there is a drop in estrogen levels (and Progesterone levels) that leads to your cycle and can also cause these, .

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Hot flashes: Are your periods regular? If not see a gynecologist.
Are your hot flashes long lasting (days) or just for a short time? Again, the longer the hot flushes last the more you should make an appointment with a gynecologist.

Accepted Answer

Timing of puberty: I do not know your age but there are many pediatric texts which show the various stages of sexual development, characterized as Tanner 1 to 5, along with the usual external signs at different stages.  You also ask your Mom when she had her first menses as these things are under genetic control and she gave you half of your genes. If she is not available to you one of her relatives might know.

Question 10
