They don’t call it menopause, its called POF – Premature Ovarian Failure. I was diagnosed at age 21.
Here’s more info on POF: http://pofsupport.org
Good Luck!
It’s very, very rare and usually due to another medical problem. Go see a doctor.
sounds like ur pregnant
It is HIGHLY rare that your already at the menopause at the age of 18. That usually happens at the age of 50. And thats quite a way away yet.
“one of the 110,000 British women have experienced it prematurely, some – in rare cases – as young as 12!”.
Its most definatly just your period.
no
no, its not possible, maybe your pregnant.
its unlikely your going through the menopause. are you still having a period? its quite normal to feel that way at certain stages of your cycle, but you could be pregnant. take a test and if you still have bladder problems in a few days or it gets worse see your doctor.
edit: if your period is late then you should take a test. there are lots of reasons you could be feeling the way you do though. but rule out pregnancy first x
have you never heard of PMS? sounds like youre getting your period and just not going to the bathroom enough.
there is a condition though, where young girls start menopause incredibly early. not very common though.
it’s possible, but very very unlikely. if your symptoms continue to be a problem i’d talk to your doctor.
I’ve read that early menopause can be common in women who are identical twins. Are you a twin?
Is there a chance you could be pregnant? Have you had unprotected intercourse?
I think mood swings are pretty common in teenage girls. Hopefully you are just over-analyzing the situation.
For the bladder leaks, maybe you should start Kegel exercises, that may help.
