Premature monopause
I M 40 years old and my periods have been stopped for over last nine months, mother of four kids. Contact with my doctor and after labs test the doctor informed that I had a premature monopause. It sound strange to me, that at this age I m going throuh all such problems. Beside I m gaining weight, having acne problem, mood swinging, sleeplessnes, palm sweating. Please advise me I m very frustrated for all such happening.........................
I have come to terms I am there and has been for 11 months and I am 48 years old. Hot flashes are bad, mood swings not to bad but realize one thing exercising does the trick. Be consistent and find a diet that will work for you. Good luck.

Hello,
By strict definition, premature ovarian failure applies to woman < 40 yrs of age. That said, much of how a woman younger than you would be counsel still applies, most notably that hormone replacement, unless otherwise contra-indicated, is recommended.
I'd encourage you to discuss in greater detail with your physician what this diagnosis will mean for your overall health. Additionally, the following is a website to find support:

Best regards and Happy New Year.

I can relate to your situation. I was "diagnose" in September with premature menopause. I'm 38 yrs old. I had a sister who started this at 33. I am the mother of 3 and we are through having children, but you shouldn't have to deal with menopausal symptoms while still raising young children, right?!
I just wanted you to know that you're not alone. I have all the symptoms you listed, plus a few more! My best advice is to surround yourself with positive reinforcements (not chocolate!) and make yourself exercise. That has been my saving grace and I haven't exercised regularly since 1989. Even if it's a treadmill 20 minutes a day, it will help!
Good luck to you and your family ... remember, they are suffering with you! I know mine is!!! :-)
