Honeygirl asked:


I wonder if I’m starting to experience symptoms of menopause, I had a hysterectomy 5 months ago, but kept one ovarie and fillopian tube. But here lately, I’ve been feeling so edgy, everyone here at home is irritating me sooooo badly. If they don’t move fast enough I have to walk away to wait out the feelings of loosing my patience. Even though I’m biting my tongue off to keep from getting into an argument with anyone, I still have this over whelming feeling of rage inside me, and like I said no patience whatsoever, this started a day or so ago. and I can’t seem to shake it. I’m normally a very calm, patient, happy go lucky type of woman. I will be 49 years old in two months.
Thanks everyone for posting to my question, but I want to say that I am NOT grieving over losing my uterus, it was the best thing, considering the many years of problems that came with it…fibroid tumors, heavy menses, pms and severe cramps. I want to thank the men for trying to be helpful, even though they really can’t relate to this, its really sweet of you to post with sincerity and with miminal jokes.

Can the symptoms hit at the age of 16, cause i have been having heat flashes, and an irregular period.
Im only 17, soon turning 18. I shouldn’t have menopause. Not at my age.
My first priority is to go to the doctors and get an exam and some blood work, but i would to now if you can have menopause at my age. I’ve have done the research and i know that at my age, it’s called premature menopause.
But i shouldn’t have it.
Im so confused!!!!!!
Im a teenager, if you think it’s low blood sugar, thats not the problem. I eat lots of sugar, only enough to keep me stable. I don’t have low blood sugar.

As women approach midlife and menopause one of the things to be on the lookout for is depression. While menopause is not thought to be a cause of depression the two can occur at the same time. What is believed to be a cause of depression is changes in estrogen levels which occur during menopause. It is known that women are affected by depression over twice as much as men and that a family history of depression can factor into this as well.

The symptoms of depression and menopause are very similar and include sleep disorders, hot flashes, fatigue, anxiety, and irritability. Many women associate these symptoms with the changes that menopause brings, but they may be a sign of depression that needs to be understood and dealt with. There is no reason women need to suffer from depression during menopause. It is important that they accept the physical changes happening to their bodies during this time and work with their doctor to mitigate the symptoms of menopause, but it is also important that they realize that depression and menopause can be mutually exclusive and both can be dealt with.

As women approach menopause their menstrual cycles begin to change and start to become unpredictable. This unpredictability of their monthly cycle is a sign of erratic ovulation. Erratic ovulation causes unpredictable releases of the hormones estrogen and progesterone leading to mood swings, forgetfulness, hot flashes and all the other symptoms associated with menopause.

Most women going through menopause feel that they are loosing control of their bodies when in fact it is just their natural reaction to the aging process. This feeling of loss of control can lead to symptoms of depression. As the symptoms of both menopause and depression worsen they start to feel that there is nothing they can do and a feeling of hopelessness falls over them. This feeling of hopelessness is a major part of depression and left untreated can lead to severe depression.

Untreated depression is a major health risk. Researchers have found that depression is linked to an increased risk of heart disease and in some cases it can lead to bone deterioration increasing the likely hood of osteoporosis and broken bones.

The treatment for depression and menopause can follow a two pronged approach. It is important to treat not only the depression with antidepressant medications and counseling but also to treat the symptoms of menopause as well. Menopause can be treated with hormone replacement therapy where synthetic forms of estrogen and progesterone are used to even out the woman’s hormone levels.

If you are a woman approaching midlife and menopause be aware that depression can be a very real side affect of the changes that will happen to you. If start to see the symptoms of depression it is best to talk to your doctor about what treatment options may work best for you.

My wife wants to end our marriage. She has not been herself since her father passed away suddenly and she seems angry at me most of the time. She is 43 and always had issues with her peroid, not having it regularly. Her coldness and anger along with a stressful job is not making life livable with her much longer. We have had issues with our marriage in the past but am wondering if she is at some stage of menopause that has her acting out and causing her to want to end our 20 year marriage. I do love her and do not want to walk out on her if this is just part of the process, could this trigger these kind of thoughts?
