A member asked:
Is there any correlation with early menses and early menopause? i got my first period when i was 12 and now at 39 i am in early menopause.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: There is no known correlation between age at first period and age at menopause. About 1% of american women experience premature menopause. That's about 490, 000 women. If you need help with symptoms or emotional issues, talk to your doctor about your options. The benefits of using hormones at earlier ages often outweigh the risks.

I started having alternately light and normal periods. Then no period for a number of months. Now I have a period, for a number of weeks, that won't stop. I am 46. I sometimes feel hot for no reason. Is it safe to assume that this is (peri)menopause?
