Premature menopause? Hey, I'm 20 and I feel that I am the menopause. I had horrible hot flashes for a few months now, my menstrual cycle has ALWAYS been irregular, I'm very irritable, vaginal dryness, dry eyes, dry mouth, dry patches of skin, breast tenderness, frequent need to urinate, sometimes my periods are heavier than usual or lighter than usual. Right now, I have horrible hot flashes and I feel that I'm supposed to get my period, but it did not.
Just some info. My white blood cell count was slightly higher in December (10.9) my rate of AGA were higher for celiac, I have not had an endoscopy done because I'm paranoid about sterilization, my blood pressure was 108 times, then 98, then returned to 142. My doctor, who is also a geneticist, I was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos syndrome (type classic). This is a rare connective tissue disease. I also have gastrointestinal symptoms, muscle pain, joint pain, brain fog. Approximately 90 or more symptoms. I can not even name
I really do not know the answer to that, but I suggest that if you are not satisfied with the approach your doctor for things, make an appointment and tell them that. Tell them about your concerns and develop a plan with them for health. If it still does not, consider changing doctors.
