A member asked:
What can a doctor's exam tell me about my risk for a premature menopause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Discussing your menstrual pattern can suggest early changes in ovarian function. Some blood tests of hormone levels can also show if your ovaries are aging prematurely. Your family history , smoking history, and general health may also be contributory. However, there are unpredictable circumstances that can lead to a premature menopause (certain cancer treatments, for example).
