Is 45 too early for menopause?

It is not entirely certain whether menopause at the age of 45 is too early, and the decision should be made based on the patient's physical condition.

1. Not too early: If a woman goes through menopause naturally without any health problems, this age is not considered early.

2. It's too early: If a woman has gone through menopause early for medical reasons, such as having her uterus or ovaries removed, then 45 may be considered early.

Early menopause may have some impacts on women's health, as changes in menstrual cycles and hormone levels may cause a range of physical and psychological symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep disorders, mood swings, vaginal dryness, decreased bone density, etc. Early menopause may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and other health problems.

If women are concerned about their age at menopause or are experiencing symptoms associated with menopause, they should consult their doctor for an evaluation. The doctor may recommend tests to determine if there are any health problems that may affect the age of menopause and provide appropriate treatment recommendations or lifestyle guidance.
