Premature menopause is menopause that happens before the age of 40 â whether it is natural or induced. Women who enter menopause early get symptoms similar to those of natural menopause, like hot flashes, emotional problems, vaginal dryness, and decreased sex drive.
1 A follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) test can be used to confirm whether you have reached menopause. 2  FSH levels increase during perimenopause and are high after menopause. 3  An estrogen test is sometimes done to see how low estrogen has dropped after menopause.
