A woman who undergoes menopause prematurely may have been born with
fewer eggs in her ovaries; if they are released at a normal rate, her
eggs would soon be depleted.

of eggs, leaving an insufficient number to last that long. Severe
infections of the ovaries caused by a virus such as mumps can also
injury large numbers of eggs. In some cases, the ovaries simply become
dormant and although there may be enough eggs, they refuse to respond
normally to follicle-stimulating hormone and so they fail to produce
estrogen. This may be temporary and the ovaries come back into action,
or it may be permanent. Surgical removal of the ovaries before the age
of forty will bring on a sudden and severe premature menopause if
hormone replacement is not taken. Women who experience premature
menopause, no matter what the cause may be, are at early and increased
risk for developing cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. To prevent
these serious diseases, unless she has another health problem that
would prohibit it, a woman who has a premature menopause should take
sufficient hormone replacement therapy at the time of her menopause and
ideally up to the age of fifty - in some cases, even longer, especially
if her bone density is low. This will be able to give her adequate
protection from these debilitating diseases. A woman who goes
through menopause prematurely often experiences a wide range of
negative emotions, including anger, disbelief, resentment, shock and
even shame. If you are in a situation like this, it is important that
you receive counseling from a sympathetic doctor or a qualified
therapist, because if you keep all these feeling bottled up inside you,
you may find yourself feeling depressed. If you have early
menopause, you may find it difficult to relate much to the information
available about menopause, which is usually designed with
fifty-year-old women in mind and thus you may find yourself feeling
increasingly isolated. On the other hand, if you can find an
understanding physician, you may be able to work through these negative
feelings. It is essential to understand that menopause is not
synonymous with old age. If you go through menopause early, it merely
means that your ovaries have exhausted their supply of eggs sooner than
normal. With timely and proper treatment, premature menopause
will not cause you to age more quickly, or to change your personality
or mental ability. Certainly, to all your family and friends, you will
appear just the same as before. With regards to your sex life, adequate
hormone replacement should help you to feel and act just as sexy as
ever. |
