Menopause is not supposed to happen until you are in your 50*s and above right? Someone who is 22 just told me that she is going through menopause and my mouth hung open.....she is in tears.
I hear a lot of young and old people are going through menopause and really do not know.
I figured we should all study the symptoms together and have any Doctor in the house reply to your questions.
My question is,why would a 22year old girl be going through perimenopausal state?are there habits that encourages early menopause?
check out the symptoms here...If any of this is happening to you,you know!

DeleteDon't wait just because u r seeing your period, u need to know if your ovaries are in good condition and if you have to freeze some or not or be on contraceptives to avoid over working your ovaries. God be with you!
What a life,GOD has the final say.

Delete@22?
My aunt became menopausal @35 after some of these symptoms were experienced. Thankfully she's a reverend sister. What if?
God, please correct this poor girl's case...
This could be associated with hormonal disbalancee
ReplyDeleteI doubt, I've never seen or heard such! Its just not possible that 22years old will be going through a premenopause state! Dass kann doch nicht sein!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, there are a lot of health issues with similar symptoms! The symptoms above can unarguably pass for someone who has low iron, thyroid problems and a lot more!
She needs to go for a proper diagnosis!I didn't read where she said she has visited the hospital or her house doctor.
Waiting for doctors in the house to throw in more light.
Pepper ose oku also waiting for the only native doctor in the house, Dr Agwotuwurumbe to dissect this issue as well.

ReplyDeleteMy mum is 64years old, while my dad is 75years old. And God blessed them both with good health and nice physic that sometimes people tend to under rate them age wise.
From all i gathered from my mum's story whilst growing up, she said she started seeing her monthly cycle at a very late age of 20years. And according to her the last time she sent me to buy sanitary pad for her if she haven't entered menopause yet, she said no, that when you see yours late, menopause or so comes late.
Lately i observed my mum has been lazying about unlike the agile and workaholic mum i used to know. Hmmmm.. Sometimes, she puts up cardigan even under a hot weather. And each time i ask her if all is well with her, i see some guilt in her eyes giving me a verbal nod response. Seriously, i have not been comfortable with this latest developments, waking up late and all, since 2months or so, she has not sent me to buy pad for her as usual... And anyone in my shoes will suspect what i'm suspecting especially with the kind of romeo and julliet love she and my dad keeps playing.
They have 9 children already before you start advising me, and me a working class lady is the last born u can now imagine what is paining me here. Somebody please tell me this is another sickness other than pregnancy because i plan taking her my mum for a pregnancy text even though she has been proving stubborn about it. I need advice please

DeleteAre you on family planing? Because Ian strange.
DeleteStrange! Hope you both have seen doctors to be sure?
DeleteUna no dey fuck ni???
DeleteMy friend hasn't seen her period since she had her baby October 2012
DeleteI had to come bck to this post, to share my feedback from the advice of annoy to see an OBGYN.
DeleteAfter explaining my issues/symptoms to the gyno, he started by showing me an Age Fertility chart. This chart basically tells you how old your reproductive organ(s) are for a woman especially. He went on to say women are at their most fertile when they are btw the ages of 22 - 24 and at 27 there is a declining rate but not significant. But that at age 35 our egg productions reduces by 50%. And he asked me if I had the intention to start child bearing. And if I wasn't, I shld seriously start considering it. He adviced that I don't take any drugs for now to regularise my P, and shld only take corrective hormonal drugs when I am ready for babies. As taking it now may distort my system.
Another reason to start the hunt for a hubby. FYI a man's sperm is still fertile at age 70!!! What an irony.
Thought to share this because of the person that is going through similar prob. It might ease your mind or increase your anxiety to find a husband. ASAP. LoL
Kilode??
ReplyDeleteAll these symptoms?
I reject such!
BTW, someone called me in the middle of the night and my phone rang all of a sudden.
That got me really scared and since then, my heart beat isn't back to normal. Like i'm still scared or something.
Though i know who called and i already told the pest but why is my heartbeat not back to normal?
CAPTAIN'S BOO
Search your conscience and ask what have you done. You are afraid of something you did you've just forgotten.
DeleteLoool maybe na captain dey call you..it means you are uneasy about something...

Its possible, she's not the first and won't be the last. Now lady be calm and visit your obgyn as fast as possible. If you really want kids freeze what you have left or better still adopt later. The body is funny,your periods might just return later and there are drugs to keep your flow going.keep calm believe in your GOD,seek medical advice and intervention, live right and be happy.may I remind you that there are those that have never missed a period in their life and cannot conceive while those with PCOS,endometriosis,fibroid,one ovary,ruptured fallopian tubes etc are popping babies everyday. Be calm sweetheart.it is WELL!Forgive any typo.
ReplyDeleteDoctor, wot can I use for d seizure of my monthly period? I'm 34yrs, I ve got d no of kids I prayed for, now I'm tired of ds mischievous monthly mensis. Pls help a sister.
DeleteLol madam I'm not a doctor, I'm in med school though so by God's grace. Anyways you can go do your research on lybrel.it eliminates period totally.mind you, you must consult your OBGYN before proceeding to use this and it takes a lot of commitment as it must be taken daily. I must reiterate that clearance must be gotten from your OBGYN before you Start using the drug which is LYBREL.
DeleteThnk u so much. I appreciate my doc in d making.
DeleteDear poster...there is something called premature ovarian failure and it can be autoimmune.. I feel for this young lady, I'm 27yr and was diagnosed with it when I was 21yrs and I avnt seen my period for the past 6yrs...I hope to get married soon and attempt IVF and yes my bf knows about it....
ReplyDeleteSee a gyn. They will put you on pills to regularise your body. I was diagnosed at 17, I am 32 now.
DeleteMenopause at 22? Lord have mercy...then again its prolly something else
ReplyDeleteAlright she needs to calm the hell down. I went through menopause at 17, was diagnosed with spinal osteoporosis at 18. It means whatever i do, i must never fall on my back. My soine from a bone standpoint was that of a 60 year old woman.
ReplyDeleteIts called early menopause or early ovarian failure. Her ovaries have refrused to work. Its like a car whose batteries have refused to work. They need to do a hormone profile on her, do a follicular count and see if she even has any left. They should also scan for the suze of her uterus.If she has some left and she is married, she needs to have her kids asap. They will "jumpstart" the ovaries to work. If she isnt married, she can harvest and store her eggs if miney isnt an option until she meets a man she thinks she wants to settle down with.
I repeat she should not go from doctor to dr to dr. They will only chop her money. Ealry menopause affects 1 in 100,000 women. She is definitely not alone and it is usually unexplainable. That said, she needs to be emotionally strong bcos doctors will tell her all kinds of shit and many will use her as a test case. She needs to excercise regularly, say no to actual menopause drugs, but opt for birth control pills as it will give her a sense of normalcy in terms of her period monthly. She also needs to take calciumand a womens daily vitamin. Eat and lead a healthy lifestyle.
In my own case i have spent over $100k on doctors. Absolute waste of money, the paranoia led to that. Diff doctors will tell you different things. I had a dr tell me to find a purpose for my life outside of my ovaries as i eould never have biological children. I had another one tell me they couldnt findmy left ovary. Another told me my uterus was small for childbirth, another older dr told me not to worry that my ovaries were located with some follicles.
My point is trust God and dont be stupid. I am 32 yrs old. Few pple refused to marry me. One idiot told me to go and bring pregnancy. I got married last month to a man i dated for 10months and he knows the whole truth. He is currently the one paying the bills as we have started trying. The absolute worst is an egg donor. And last is adoption.
God never gives us that which we cannot handle. Stella i worked my ass iff in my 20s as i believed no man would marry me and i wiould simply build a career and adopt kids.
Miss pynk

She may be suffering from thyroid disease. According to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), millions of women with menopausal-like symptoms, even those taking estrogen, may be suffering from un-diagnosed thyroid disease. While symptoms such as fatigue, depression, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are frequently associated with menopause, they may also be signs of hypothyroidism. A survey done by the AACE showed that only one in four women who have discussed menopause and its symptoms with a doctor were also tested for thyroid disease. The thyroid plays a role in regulating overall body metabolism and influences the heart, brain, kidney, and reproductive system, along with muscle strength and appetite.
ReplyDeleteHyperthyroid Symptoms
ReplyDeleteHyperthyroidism is usually caused by Graves’ Disease or diffuse toxic goiter. However, Graves’ Disease is the most common type of hyperthyroidism. It is a condition when the body has too much thyroid hormone and the cause is unknown. This autoimmune disorder tends to run in families. Graves’ Disease affects more women than men (about an 8.1 ratio) and it occurs more frequently in women in their 30’s and 40’s.
Symptoms of Graves’ Disease:
weight loss
rapid heart rate
anxiety
feeling hot
perspiring a lot
nervousness
muscle weakness
swelling in neck
eye symptoms.
She needs to see the Dr immediately so that she can be checked.
Copy and paste! Welldone
DeleteBitte more light on hypothyroidism!

Damn! With these symptoms EVERY woman BTW the ages of 15 to infinity is going through PRE or is it PERI menopausal symptoms. Even some men too.

ReplyDeleteHmmm... mine is quite different but I'm sacred. Started having light, as in, extremely light period since mid last year. Now I've noticed that the cycle days are longer. I'm just 21 o.. please help!
DeleteVery rare, not an impossibility.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there are certain other conditions that may bear similar symptoms. She should see her gynaecologist who would request for a hormonal assay with some other tests and carry out differential diagnosis based on the results.
Hian!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete...all these symptoms for one person and I was praying for menopause.

No be small thing oh
ReplyDeleteThe lady should see a gynecologist.. Get a hormonal profile done it can be caused by primary ovarian failure, ovarian resistance (savage)syndrome and it can be associated with other autoimmune diseases like hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism,addison's disease and diabetes millions.
ReplyDeleteDiabetes millions? Smh...
DeleteHmmmmmm nothing we no go see, this body of ours is as complex as it gets. God protect your own............
ReplyDeleteAnd this is most of the things my mum complains about! Oops! Now I knw wat is wrong with her.. she is 51.

DeleteStella people suffer most of the
ReplyDeletethings you listed here. Does it mean they are getting to menopause? I doubt it. Every woman must have had five or more of the listed symptoms above and still have regular menstrual periods and not way near menopause. Early menopause starts from 40yrs and above. The poster should go for proper check up and find out what her problem is.
#God answers all prayers#
Happy moments - Praise God, Difficult moments-Seek God,
Quiet moments -Worship God, Painful moments-Trust God,
Every moment - Thank God.
Pls go and read up on early menopause it can start at 15 self. Google is your friend.its also called premature ovarian failure.
DeleteYoung people with one ovary can reach menopause early. The only good ovary does the work of two and the ovarian egg reserve reduces. People with one ovary often go on pills to avoid the only ovary they have not overwork itself...
ReplyDeleteShe needs to freeze what's left of her eggs fast for future use.
ReplyDeleteAlso remember, menopause doesn't mean you can't have your own child. You can get a donor or adopt. It doesn't matter if the child is not of your own DNA... but africans can't seem to look beyond that and I understand... someone can still call you mama. kisses
Shocking...the things we hear in medical field ds days. 22yrs is way too young: she neva even stat life, Lord have mercy!
ReplyDeleteHER BODY HAS REACHED MENOPAUSE AS DIAGONISED BY DOCS.HER PERIOD STILL COMES BUT SHE IS IN THE EARLY STAGES OF MENOPAUSE AND NO LONGER OVULATES..........HER BODY RAN OUT ON HER.
ReplyDeleteSHE HAS BEEN TO SPECIALIST DOCS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND ITS THE SAME RESULT.
SHES TRYING TO DEAL WITH THIS NOW.
Stella I am tempeted to tell you to give me her email. I am the one that was diagnosed at 17 with early menopause also. Its not the end of the world at all. The fact that she is still alive is more than enough testimony. I am 32 now, married to a wonderful man after 10 months of dating. I had to develop very thick skin when men rejected me. Depending on where she is, I might be able to offer her words of wisdom or at least comfort. She can also remain annonymous if she wants. I hope I can be of some sort of comfort to her.
DeletePynk360@gmail.com
There are certain treatments that can be attempted. I recall we discussed something like this last month.
DeleteShe should work closely with her doctor. You have the 2nd and 3rd opinion, now its time to work with one doctor. Remember whatever treatment you get, you need to stick to it and run tests later to see what progress is being made.
Switching doctors may lead to further complications.
Also pray. Your faith will help ur body rejigg itself.

ReplyDeletestella hormonal imbalance can cause this things too so let her go for test
ReplyDeleteNa wa oo.abeg mine na ovarian cyst but am scared of surgery.
ReplyDeleteMy dear, do not worry yourself much. God will never allow things we cannot handle to come to us. Since the doctors have confirmed that you are no longer ovulating, you can use a surrogate to carry a donor egg for you. You can also adopt. I know of a family that starts menopause at age 30. Many of them marry before attending higher institutions.Surprisingly, some of them start perimenopause in their forties. Stay calm, this world is all about finding things that make you happy. Enjoy your life today, as tomorrow is not guaranteed. Please, do not let this issue spoil the good life God has given to you. You are blessed. Rose
ReplyDeleteBeen having that electric shock sensation of d brain after a bout of malaria. Didnt evn knock how to explain it to my doctor. Anyways, I don't let it bother me, I do my own bit by living a healthy lifestyle nd let God handle d rest. It is well.
ReplyDeleteLife happens! Not everybody's life will go the same way. This is not the worse thing that can happen to a human body. Go to hospitals and hospices and you will see levels of degradation of the human body.
ReplyDeleteIf she is desperate to be a mother let her adopt. The only problem she will face is the loss of estrogen at such a young age, so let her take estrogenic foods like soy and fenugreek and other estrogenic foods. Estrogenic foods should not be consumed by women who have NOT already gone through menopause.
i swear i have about 15 of those symptoms and am 31. this is scary
ReplyDeleteDamn! Thios is why some women are evil, how could they live with all that?
ReplyDeleteAm confused myself cos since I had my 2nd baby 12 months ago tru c.s I have not seen my period. Pregnancy is ruledout though. My 1st child was tru c.s but my period came 6 months after. I just hope dis is normal otherwise need to see a doctor fast.
ReplyDeleteStella, am 28yrs now I started noticing that I menstruate twice a year when I was 21, then I was living with my uncle so he thought I was lying he took me to his doctor. I did series of test then I was told I ve low thyroid, @ 23 it became once by 25 it stopped finally,my Ex boyfriend told categorically that he was quitting bcos am going to be barren, although he apologised and ve since forgiven bcos he is not d cause of my misfortune, I ve cried and stopped crying because my recent test say am in my menopause @28 and giving birth is no option. And since I know that is my status I have lived life to d fullest and not letting my status weigh me down. Am gainfully employed and am Rich so. I take good care of my self. See my doctors regularly and I don't give any relationship a trial bcos I don't want to live in the fear of any mother in_law. My only fear is how to confront my mum wit the news that I wish to remain single, she is aware of the status but I told her a long time ago that it's now regular bcos I don't want her to keep asking how far every month.. let the poster believe in God pray hard and live a fulfilled life. Menopause is not her fault

DeleteDear u can adopt. Some white people don't even want kids. Hope u find one that doesn't care about your status and will over love u self on top.
DeleteAlthough knowing @ a young age that ur chances of a having a biological child is 97/3% but life has to go on. It's hurt to know U might never have a biological child to call u MUMMY, it hurt to rejoice when ur folks give birth and cry in a corner cos u know u might never xperience the joy of motherhood, it hurts to visit the gynaecologist often while you it not for antenatal, it hurts so bad to visit ur mum and u find sanitary pads in her while you ve not bought one in a long time. Am typing this in tears. Dear poster past seven years ve not been easy for me but ve learnt to move on with life. Am so glad to share @least I feel better. My mum stil menstruate @50 n here I am @ 28 I don't I can't remember d last time I saw a stain my pant..
ReplyDeleteMs Punk, thank you for your contribution.One can indeed have POF at any age and it is pathological meaning caused by an underlying disease as against menopause which is a normal part of the aging process (where things decline- eyes,hearing,organs etc). Now the frustrating thing is that sometimes the cause may not be found and occasionally when it is, it may not be remarkable)
ReplyDeleteFor Poster, pls get as many different credible opinions from Gynaes as you can afford and if the thread is similar, you need not waste more money.
Sometimes the way to look at things is to find how to live with some conditions with as little disruption to your day to day life as possible. For instance, in order to prevent thing like osteoporosis (like punk said), you may want to discuss hormone replacement therapy or Bisphosphonate therapy with your Dr, if you want to continue having periods (because this is a very emotive topic for women), there are meds you can also take although be aware that such periods will be ambulatory (meaning you will notched eggs and can't get pregnant). GAMETE PRESERVATION and surrogacy are also options depending on where you live. Bottom line is that your life is just starting and there's no reason why you can't live a full life even with POF.
As for the BV whose 64 yo mum is having what she suspects may be pregnancy symptoms, it would be very unlikely that a 64 yo lady is pregnant and should she be, the risk of Down 's syndrome and other such anomalies would make carrying such. Pregnancy to term quite stupid in someone who has 9 children already (apologies). An endocrine (hormonal problem) is a more likely culprit. Get her to do a horm profile ( TFTs, LH FSH,Oestradiol levels,Vit D levels) before you start planning what musician to invite for the naming,

Oh just a quick addition, any woman in her 60sand above who has had cessation of Menses and begins to bleed again subsequently must be looked at as having post menopausal bleeding which is Sinister and needs investigating (Uterine or cervical lesions likely). Be wise to your health women. Believe in God (cos I do) but don't be foolish.God gave us all the knowledge we have now for a reason.DO NOT stay in one corner praying foolish prayer or believing God when the "Power to do" lies with you. Any faith preacher who tells you that is ignorant, they all take advantage of modern medicine too but they tell their flock to just believe.
ReplyDeleteI will do a NOTE to Stella soon on how to know if you're safe with your Dr or if your Dr is healthy for you. Stay healthy folks and if you're not,do something about it!

Its not the end of the world & I believe that God will never give you a cross that will be too big for you to carry. I suggest that you visit the best gyn in town & stick to one doctor before they open business on your matter.
ReplyDeleteBe strong & don't let peoples comment depress you (what do they know & they may be carrying heavier crosses than yours
