Your body is out of control and you are helpless to change what is happening. You're angry, upset, and numb. But, somehow, you have to keep going. . . . It isn't easy. I know this through my own experiences and through talking with so many other women coping with premature menopause.
Premature menopause brings with it a wrenching emotional change along with the physical.
In fact, a study conducted in London found that premature menopause was associated with higher than average levels of depression. Their loss of reproductive capacity. The sudden switch from fertile woman to irrevocably infertile woman was the biggest blow of all. To make matters even more difficult, fertility is more than just the actual biological ability to have children. It symbolizes much more than this to yourself and to society.
