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.
What is menopause? Menopause is a normal change in a womanâs life when her period stops. Thatâs why some people call menopause âthe change of lifeâ or âthe change.â During menopause a womanâs body slowly produces less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. This often happens between ages 45 and 55.
