A member asked:

I'm 42 years old....i haven't had a period in 12 days usual on time.. had my tubes tide for 18 years.. i also have hot flashes is it premenopause?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perimenopause: Perimenpause is characterized by periods becoming irregular, and women experiencing hot flashes. Irregular periods come from women not ovulating on a regular basis any more, and the hot flashes indicate that the ovaries do not produce the amount of estrogens that they used to produce.
