Q. I am 37 years old and have painful irregular periods. Is it due to menopause?
Hello doctor,
I am a 37-year-old female. I have gone from regular to irregular periods. I did home menopause test and all three tests tested positive for elevated FSH. Feeling extremely tired and nausea at times. Moody, irritable, hot flashes, cannot tolerate much heat or the cold, increase in weight despite exercising. Periods were every four weeks with heavy flows and very painful with pain lasting up to 21 hours and flow started out heavy and then lighten up the last two days and would last five to seven days. Now I get period every two to three weeks with little or no pain and periods are much lighter where I only have to use one pad a day instead of eight a day and lasts two to four days. Increase in headaches as well. Insomnia, night sweats and noticed that I sweat more under my arms and body hair (legs and underarms) growing faster than normal. Dizziness at times, heart flutters, and there is off balance feeling.
Kindly help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
All the symptoms you have mentioned are those of menopause. You have a laboratory confirmation also. Nowadays ladies are entering the menopausal stage at a younger age. To alley these discomforts you can have HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Specifically for these symptoms, I suggest you have tablet Tibolone 2.5 mg once daily for three months. You may have recurrence maybe three to four years later. But you can have this medication again. It has no side effects and is very effective. You can also have Isoflavones capsules once a day. These two will give you a great relief. Try to be as active as possible, physically. More your body weight, more will be the discomforts of menopause. Your expected body weight is 115 to 125 lbs.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
