Avatar f tn Over the age of 40, it may be due to the menopause and not having a period for 3 years will mean that your menstrual cycle days are finished. Still see your doctor though to make sure that your period have stopped because of the menopause.
Avatar n tn For many, this cessation of menstrual periods will represent permanent menopause but a minority will have return of menstruation either regular or irregular in the future.I have read that some women restarted menstruation 2 years or more after completing Chemotherapy. I am also glad to know that you finished all your treatments and I wish you continued good health! :) Take care...
Avatar n tn re already noticing some changes in your cycles and certainly these long, drawn out periods are certainly charactertistic of perimenopausal change type periods. After these types of periods, usually come the "was that a period?" type periods. Then, the...."Whoa....where'd my period go? Haven't seen it for a couple of months???" Based on this one period and the one FSH test levels, I'd not be concerned at this point in time.
Avatar f tn I am 40 years old. Am I going through menopause? My periods aare all messed up. Some times I get them twice a month. Sometimes they only last a few days and are very light. Sometimes they are extremely heavy and painful, with HUGE clots. I've had ovarian cysts before. This has been going on for a few years. My doctor has recommended possibly cauterizing (sp ) my uterus to minimize the flow of blood. Has anyone had this done?
Avatar m tn m back to normal again but my dr an endo said it is not uncommon for a woman to get a couple of periods at the end of menopause post menopause I think they call it.
Avatar n tn Hello, The normal age range for the occurrence of menopause is somewhere between the age of 45 and 55. During menopause, the production of most of the reproductive hormones, including the estrogens, progesterone and testosterone, diminishes and becomes more irregular, often with wide and unpredictable fluctuations in levels,resulting in various symptoms.
Avatar m tn How many periods have you had? It's not uncommon in perimenopause to have a period come out of the blue.
Avatar f tn I'm 45 years old and have had healthy menstrual cycles like clockwork all my life. Suddenly it stopped 12 or so weeks ago. I have had frequent unprotected sex. I have no symptoms. Menoupause or pregnancy?
Avatar f tn I'm 52 and thought I might be entering the stages of menopause when I recently begin to experience extremely heavy periods although I haven't started having the ususal symptons, hot flashes, night sweats, etc. I went to my Dr. who tested my hormone levels which were all normal. That was two months ago and I'm still having very heavy periods for weeks at the time that will stop for maybe a week or so and then begin again. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn That said, in perimenopause estrogen and progesterone levels are irregular and missed menstrual periods are a symptom.
Avatar n tn During chemotherapy, women may have irregular menstrual cycles or amenorrhea (disappearance of menstrual periods). Some medications used in chemotherapy may also cause damage to the ovaries, resulting in menopausal symptoms or menopause. Menopause may be immediate or delayed, permanent or temporary when triggered by chemotherapy. There is no way to accurately determine how /why chemotherapy or other cancer treatments will affect your menstrual cycle.
Avatar f tn Hello, I am 46 years old. For the past 6 months or so my periods have been irregular. Some months my period is every 19, then 33 days, then 46 days, etc. Last month it was 46 days now I have started at 15 days. The flow itself has been normal and lasted 4-5 days. Should I be concerned or can I wait for my pap in May (last pap was May 2008, and last ultrasound August 2007) to talk to my Dr. I do seem to have some insomnia and sweating at night as well.
Avatar n tn I'm a 44 year old woman who has been on my menstrual cycle for a week now. I also have the mirena.
Avatar f tn This time, they have me scared. My Maternal Grandmother made it to 83 with only missing periods when she was pregnant. But my mom had a totally hysterectomy at the age of 27 due to cervical cancer. My periods have gotten out of sync and exceptionally painful, the last year. I have been having hot flashes about two years. The memory thing, mood swings, and insomnia, we cannot judge for I have a TBI and PTSD from injuries I sustained when I was in the military.
4462134 tn?1355854315 I would say no not normal. Have you ever had severe menstrual pain before? Adenomyosis could be why or Endometriosis. However there could be many reasons why this is happening but I would need more information.
Avatar f tn I was usually always on time for my menstrual cycle but started having lighter periods and one month bled for 21 days. Now I have totally skipped 3 months. My biggest concern is the extreme fatigue. Is this normal or for concern?
Avatar m tn My wife started menopause about 2 years ago , with skipping menstrual cycles . Now she has hot flashes and no periods . She was not really a sex enthusiast before , but now it's 2 or 3 months inbetween . What could women do to reduce the symptoms of menopause ? Does anyone who has an increased sex drive because of menopause ?
Avatar f tn Did you not discuss your changing periods with the doctor? It sounds very much like you are entering perimenopause, a time of unknown length when our bodies begin to produce less estrogen and throw our cycles into a bit of chaos. What you described is perfectly normal for perimenopause. Sometimes we skip periods, the next month we have 2, the month after that we bleed heavily for days, wondering if we need a blood transfusion, then we have two month of nothing but spotting..............
Avatar f tn Along with my periods returned a little bit of menstrual symptoms such as breast tenderness and slight fullness. Since all indications if menopause were there, I am concerned that this is postmenopausal bleeding I should be concerned about. Yet it seems like two periods spaced a month apart. Any thoughts?? Thank you!
Avatar f tn I am a 32 years old women and getting hot and on and off cold flashes though out the day is any one able to explain this to me.Last month my menstrual cyclical went longer than usual. My menstrual cyclical usually only go's for about 4 to 5 days,but last month my menstrual cyclical lasted 10 days.
1142551 tn?1264736930 I was curious if it was related to the MS that I miss a menstrual cycle during flare ups. Sometimes even 2! I am not sexually active so pregnancy wouldn't be the cause. Also sorry I just seem to post my questions and just that without any history of myself and my illness. I promise I will get to that once Im feeling better. But Thanks to everyone that has welcomed me on this forum.
Avatar f tn DOES MACROBID CAUSE BLEEDING OR MAKE YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE COME EARLY. I JUST FINISHED MACROBID 7 DAY TREATMENT. MY MENSTRUAL CAME 3 DAYS EARLY AND THERE IS BRIGHT RED BLOOD AND USUALLY MY MENSTRUAL BLOOD IS NOT THAT BRIGHT. I INITIIALLY WASNT DUE FOR MY MENSTRUAL UNTIL YESTERDAY I'VE BEEN BLEEDING SINCE THE 3RD AND IM STILL BLEEDING BUT NOT ALOT LIKE I WAS YESTERDAY AND THE DAYS BEFORE BUT THE BLEEDING HAS LIGHTENED.
Avatar n tn Just a note - At 45 I was sure I was starting menopause. Weight gain, skipped periods, tired and breast tenderness. As it turned out I fund out for sure that I wasn't there yet. Just a little thing called pregnant. So at 46 I delivered a beautiful baby girl. I'm now 57 and we have a 33 year old son and a 12 year old daughter. You just never know!!! By the way, when I go to stores with my son, I feel like I'm 99. When I take my daughter shopping, I feel 29.
467797 tn?1216211257 I am 40 years old now but 3 years ago I had an endo ablation because I was having severe pain and erratic bleeding with my periods. Since then I have not had a period and it has been a heaven sent - no period = no pain. Before the ablation I was having severe hot flashes at random times, night sweats, insomnia, headaches, low labido and mood swings. I was beginning to suspect that I was entering an early menopause.
Avatar n tn I am 39 and will be turning 40 in June, I've been having irregular periods, but two months ago I did not have my periods. I'm also experiencing hot flushes which I find very disturbing. For the past two months, I've been having period pains but no periods.
