I Am 35 and I Suddenly Have Irregular Periods - Do I Have Pre Menopause Symptoms?

Warning! This article deals with women's issues.

First I have to stress, as a woman, you should have regular medical exams for early detection of any underlying medical conditions. For many women the onset of pre menopause symptoms begins before the age of forty. The first symptom of menopause is usually when your monthly cycle has periods of irregularity in the length of time between menstruation, the duration and the flow.

For many women this means your flow becomes very heavy and you have a marked increase in blood clots. Your period becomes more of an intrusion on your life. Once the doctor rules out any physical explanation, you can assume that you are beginning to experience pre menopause symptoms also known as perimenopause. This may be the only symptom you have for many years.

Now don't panic. This does not mean you will wake up tomorrow and no longer be fertile. Many women take as much as 10-15 years to complete this transition. On average, most women have their past period around the age of 50-51 but because every woman is different it can occur anywhere between the ages of 48-55. It is the stage leading up to that last period when you experience the pre menopause symptoms. That is when being a woman is not very fun.

At 35 years old the furthest thing from your mind is pre menopause symptoms. There are options available to you to help you ease through this phase of your life and since this phase generally lasts 10-15 years you definitely want it to be easy. You should not dwell on it, but you should seek more information whenever possible. I have more information available on my website.
