Reply to "Do we go through Menopause earlier?"

Jan DollarModerator, RN, retired

No. I was 15 when diagnosed. Menopause at 50, normal age. I did however, have a temporary "menopause" of a few months in response to the trauma of a refractory flare, followed by surgery. That was when I was 40. So, it is true that it has an effect, but it usually is not permanent.

When I was going through menopause my periods were lighter and less predictable. Basically just stopped near my 50th birthday.
