I am 28 years old and have been told that I am going through early menopause. I can't seem to find any information on menopause before the age of 40. Fred Coleman, MD Dr. Fred Coleman is a perinatologist, or maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist.
Early menopause is relatively rare.
Often, there are no good reasons. The effect of early menopause is the same as regular menopause. Your ovaries have stopped producing eggs and hormones. Because of this, we start women on hormones to counteract those effects. Other than the egg production, most of those effects can be reversed with estrogen.
