I'm 43 years old and my period was irregular for 4-5years. I was diagnosed with a thyroid defiency but it has since been regulated for a year. Now, I have not had a period and I'm feeling some of the symptoms of the menopause. I am currently practicing Ayurvedic so I can get my periods back to normal. Do I have to accept the menopause? And if so, how long do I have to suffer for?
The only way to tell for sure if you are starting the menopause is to see your doctor.
They can test your hormone levels, and that will give you a better idea as to what is happening.
Menopause symptoms can last for a number of years but this can depend on age, health and hereditary traits.
