First it was a late period … then a few nights of insomnia … then these things that feel like hot flashes … Could you be experiencing early menopause symptoms? Aren’t you too young?

Menopause is one of those life stages that creeps up on you. It’s hard to believe it’s happening (already?!), so you may dismiss the early symptoms – insomnia, agitation, a hot flash – as random symptoms of something else (PMS? Warm nights? Bad Thai food?).

But menopause can come on earlier than many of us think. For some women, it can begin in their mid-40s. Plus there is a stage before menopause – called perimenopause – where the symptoms are apparent, even though you’re still having a period. That stage can last for many years, and can begin for some women as early as their 40th birthday, where they get a preview of what menopause will probably be like.

So what do early menopause symptoms look like?

They include:

•     Agitation
•     Insomnia
•     Breast tenderness
•     Sporatic periods (before menopause begins)
•     Mood changes
•     Hot flashes
•     Night sweats
•     Low sex drive
•     Vaginal dryness
•     Overactive bladder
•     Incontinence

These early symptoms can be in any combination (not all women experience all symptoms), plus they can come on in a rather sporadic fashion, which can make them confusing and easy to miss.

A woman who is younger than 40 and experiencing really early menopausal symptoms will probably be recommended hormone therapy, according to ob-gyn and author Judith Reichman, who spoke to Lifescript.com, a women’s health and wellness web site.
