It may be because of surgery, like a hysterectomy, POF (prem ovarian failure) or maybe you are just one of the many women for whom there is no explanation as to why it has happened early?

Some women sail through the hot flushes, feeling down and tired, and the many other problems that come with the Menopause. For most it can be hard to cope with, especially if it happens at an age that you would not have expected it.

This site is for all women who have experienced or are going through the menopause, but especially for those of us where it has hit early.

Although this site aims to offer support to anyone wanting to know more, or find information about the menopause, if you have any medical questions it is always best to speak to your doctor.
