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.
Menopause is simply the name given to the last menstrual period, but for most women it means much more than this. It is the cycle in a womanâs life when her ovaries stop producing eggs, when her periods begin to stop and when her hormone levels change. Menopause is something that typically happens between the ages of 47 and 53.
