A member asked:
My mother started perimenopause at 38 and was given hrt, i'm having some of the symptoms, is it possible i will follow my mother? i'm nearing 39.

Yes: the medical term for this is ovarian dysfunction and these women suffer the onset of menopausal type symptoms. Supplemental hormone treatment can alleviate these symptoms. If not treated these symptoms may last for a decade or more before true menopause begins.
