A member asked:

Could it be that i could be going through early/premature menopause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: At age 48, if you are going through menopause (defined as no period for 12 months), then this is not considered premature menopause. It would be completely normal, though earlier than the average. Check with your doctor if you are confused. It is hard to provide a better answer without more information.
