I don't know anyone that young to go through menopause unless it's peri which is the years leading up to menopause.I do agree that what we eat is definitely playing havoc with our hormones but not just necessarily from meat but all the other processed rubbish we are feeding our bodies.

no idea

I do not know anyone who has experienced menopause so young, but it would be sad for the many women who are putting off having families until later.

Free from periods and worrying about contraception is a real sense of freedom for me.

They have found certain types of plastic can change our genetic makeup and tadpoles never change into frogs. That is the reason baby bottes must not be made from certain plastics. Ever wondered why so many children have medical and behavioral problems while we and our children didn't? Our milk came in glass, our jam and vegemite came in glass, our bread came in paper and our fresh fish and meat was wrapped in paper. Sometimes we need to look back to see what was better for us.

I had my tubes tied at 29years of age as my hubby and i decided 4 kids was enough for us and i didn't want children later in life. I also have a Mirena, I'm on my 2nd now and have been told it will be safe for me to have 1 or 2 more (Mirena replacements) which should put me past menopause and therefore, i won't have to deal with all the menopausal symptoms.

I also think it must be the genetically modified foods as well as the lifestyle- more stress

Up person eat and buy

GM foods have a lot to answer for.

no opinion this question is not for man to answer

I was 13 yrs old at beginning of Menstration. My husband died suddenly when I was 47. The shock of that happening seemed to stop any further monthly bleeding. Strangely, I had very few signs of the headaches, hot flushes etc that plague most women from then on. However at 43 I had had my tubes tied, perhaps that helped diminish the menopausal effects.

I have never met anyone going through early menopause not even my daughter or her friends .Perhaps becoming a vegitarian may help

I think only those that are forced into having a hysterectomy.

Fertility in both males and females is dropping at a quite surprising rate...it might even be as high 5% or more per generation...I suspect the planet has had enough of us....

Me 50

I thought menopause comes when eggs runs out. When start period early i guess you can finish early 30s. I would not say it's because of life style is it?

A doctor told me that the later you start menstruation then the earlier you will go through menopause. My daughter was 16 and menopausal at 35. Lucky, luck me started menstruating at 10 and didn't go through menopause until 57, but also must admit I have never been a fan of fast food, take aways and anything that I don't cook for myself.

I eat plenty of red meat and my menopause was surgically induced at about age 43. I was having such extreme problems with my gyn parts that I had my uterus taken, otherwise known as a hysterectomy. I kept my ovaries against medical advice because I am and was against synthetic hormone replacement therapy. For short it is called "HRT". Hormone replacement therapy. It's not without significant very dangerous side effects. Cancers, heart failure, and a host of life threatening complications. Just like birth control. Birth control is a risky treatment to undergo too, but many women would rather take a chance with neg side effects and have reliable birth control. Our environment, diets, obesity, and genetics all play major factors in when menopause will start it's onset. It is very true and scientifically documented that you can bet that your natural mother's onset of menopause is a great indicator of when you will start your menopause, give or take a few years. However, environmental factors will affect that relationship between your moms menopause and your own onset of menopause.

I just turned 38 and had to have hysterectomy at 23, which I was told would lead to menopause earlier than normal. And at this point, my husband is ready to killme at times it seems.

I was 47 when. I experienced menopause. The hot flashes and the insomnia was non stop. I’m doing a lot better now, than when I first experienced it.

We do eat a lot of processed food now. I know people in the seventies and eighties who were menopausal in their forties. I guess thirties is just an advancement of this trend. You are probably right, and as someone else here said - Mother Nature probably IS groaning. Not so sure about overpopulation. I know it exists. I was thinking more if you wanted to keep your fertility as a woman, you might have to go all organic, non GM food and steer away from chemicals generally.

There is a possible link to fluoride or indeed the pill.

I started at 55 and done by 58. However several of my friends were done by 40. Could it be related to intergenerational use of the pill?

menopause started for me at 45yrs,i had the works ,hot flushers ,dizziness,light headed, a little mood swings at times. Emotional up set over nothing lol crying.And my diet was pretty healthy .I still get hot flushes about every few months .I have been told by some older women that the hot flushers never stop .I am now in my late sixties.

Havent got a clue I was 50.

i was 46

in my 50s and still going threw it and i,m 73 get to hot in the night drive my partner made so we have differant bedrooms

It does make one think. I was not aware that this was happening.

I have no idea, but it would be terrible if you wanted to have kids in your 30s when it happened.

I'm male, so I don't care.

i really don't know but it could be possible

I am lucky as i have never had Menopause,and i am now 65yrs.

I don't know, I never had any symptoms of menopause besides the end of my monthly cycle.in my late 40's. I actually thought I might be pregnant when it finally stopped. I had 3 children when I was between 30 and 40.

47

I had a hysterectomy when I was in my 30's due to fibroids & cysts. 3 months later I had a period & then after they were back again although not as heavy. I had surgery second time to remove what the surgeon had left in. No more monthlies until I came out to Australia. Then all of a sudden it all started again. I saw a gynaecologist at the recently finished Modbury Hospital who said if it happened again, to get in touch with him, which I did do because the following weekend it happened again. In for surgery & the surgeon found that instead of cutting down into the womb, the ****** surgeon had cut straight across hence leaving a bit of the womb intact but that time the surgeon did the operation properly. Great not to have any more problems.

I do not know hormones climate change inflation divorce mental sickness a point to consider perhaps they are partners rather than wives????

You would need to do the stats

started in mid 50 still get the hot flushes but getting better

I don't know but many reports from across the world say that many women start menopause from as early as 28. I am not sure about the Growth Hormone bit as, according to the supermarkets here in Australia all their Meat products - beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish are Hormone Free.

I was perimenopausal from 40 to 50 years old. Had a hysterectomy and suddenly the heat was turned off and I felt somewhat more normal. it was ridiculous.

I was 50 and thought that was early, it wasn't too bad for me, just a few hot sweats was all, but it could be to do with lifestyle choices these days.Edited 18-Sep-22 11:15am

I had a hysterectomy when I was 29 always had bad periods since I was 11 tears old. I had 2 boys, now 50 and 47 and I still went through menopause when I was 47 because I still had my tubes and ovaries Hot sweats awful. What woman go through

Last I read the rate of women going into premature menopause i.e before the age of 40 was about 1%. Early Menopause is considered to be from about 41 to 45. The much more common age is from 45+. Early or premature menopause can be due to a number of reasons such as auto immune conditions, galactosaemia, enzyme problems, the effects of treatments for cancer such as chemo or radiotherapy etc. Many women who experience premature or early menopause have an affected relative so it suggests genetic factors may be at play.I have not seen any scientific evidence at all that suggests hormones given to livestock are in any way associated with premature or early menopause in people. I've seen lots of conspiracy theories, but not actual evidence.Given in a lot of cases, no specific cause of early or premature menopause ( of the 1% or women who experience it) has been identified it is an area that could do with more research to find out what the contributing factors may be.Edited 18-Sep-22 10:44am

too many

I'm not sure about that. It sounds young to me.

I believe it is the food that we are consuming that causes a lot of things that have changed

It's the hormones in the foods we eat, I reckon. I got my periods when I was 11 and apparently I have been through menopause. Recently I was suffering from hot flushes, sleeplessness and emotional but my hormone levels were at an okay level for my age so it may have just been a bug. I feel fine now and I thought I'd just go on HRT but my GP said No as there are too many bad side affects with the treatment. I am better off not taking any thing. It's is a mine field with all the different types and with the medication I am on I don't want any thing disrupting that as it is working.

don't know but they put men on pause lol

I’m 51 and still as regular as clockwork every 28 days! I try to eat only organic or spray free produce. The hormones they pump into our meat and dairy industry is sad

I started menopause about 40 and I still have hot flashes at age 75. This is an hereditary condition that my 2 sisters, my mom and grandmother had. I was tested for the hormones and I am low in them all. Lucky you if it stops after 5 years.

I'll ask my wife.

I think you need to check survey for this but still not all women been tested

I have no idea

Not sure if studies have been made between those who have or have not borne children as t hat could be a contributing factor of what changes occur at what age and if those who have had multiple births as to how they fair along this journey.

I started early and finished when I was about 45.

I was all done by 55, but then I'd started the jolly journey (haha) at 10.

I was 39 when meno started. only because I had my tubes tied early, which puts you into early menopause

If they are I feel infinately sorry for them, it's not just about the hot flushes, but the loss of our protective female hormones that create over all body changes and they're never good

na

I don’t have an answer I stared in my late thirties. My daughter just turned 30 and is having hot flashes. There is more research that is needed, I also went from low blood pressure to high blood pressure when going through menopause but I was told that doesn’t happen, but there were no tests ever done.

I had to have a partial hysterectomy, so I went through it early due to that.

What a stupid question. Who the hell knows the number? As a male I am even more in the dark.

I really don't know

i went on menopause after 56 plus to 60 with none of the discomforts associated with it, yet i did not bear any child...,..////////////?

I just turned 50 and just started this year. Ive lived in rural most of my life with a well though too. I try not to eat lots of processed food

Well for me I went thru it at around 45 and it was no fun, I do feel that the water food etc has something to do with the earlier start of things, Glad Im through with this but good luck to those that are not...

High levels of human growth hormone over a long period can produce irreversible acromegaly, but even smaller doses can lead to complications such as heart disease and diabetes.

I fought stage 4 endometriosis and adenomyosis for five long years and lost the battle at just 33. I had to have a hysterectomy at 33 years old. The dream of have children was taken from me because the very same medical professionals were negligence and incompetent communication skills such as listening.

Totally agree with this view. Not only what is being added to our meats but also the pesticides sprayed on our vegetables and fruit. The food we eat today lasts much longer with all the preservatives added but unfortunately we all pay the ultimate price with our health one way or another.....sad world

whether it starts earlier or later it is what it is just have to put up with it till it passes.

Not a clue - not a woman!

I think you are right. Also with the birth control pill, which finds its way into our groundwater. I think it may be harder to fall pregnant in years to come.

Heard some things related to this from people who got the COVID vaccines and boosters.

I think very few. It is in the middle of child bearing age, so I hope the number is low for those who want kids!

I remember my mother starting menopause 40 + because at the age of 40 she still pregnant.I won't forget before we just eat meat if there's birthday celebration & fiesta celebration .If no occasions we always eat fish & vegies in our place.Maybe that's why some women have menopausal early 30s .

I'm not sure.It is certainly of concern if it is, indeed happening.And unfortunate that it is still relatively the unspoken beast of women's little time of turbulent torments! However some have an easier transition than others It seems girls too, are starting their cycles earlier too? .Make sure you find a good dr .there are some specifically registered for this issue under your local gp listings. All the seemingly little things earlier on end up adding up til you realise oh,yeah,maybe I am in peri or actual menopause. Good to at least get your hormone levels checked or sometimes just a few questions answered can help.

I think is due to over stress, processed food and environment (for example polluted air). with the technology nowadays, everyone stay up late to catch up work or leisure in midnight. This is just my opinions. Thanks

Unsure if growth hormones are to blame. May be. But growth hormones are not good for humans to consume. Girls are starting this periods now at 8. Maybe it's just evolution.
