What is the youngest age a woman can go through menopause?

I'm only 25 but I've been having symptoms of menopause, is this even possible? I've had problems with my period ever since I got it, so I wouldn't be surpised! Thanks.

Update:

I won't be able to go to a doctor for about 2 weeks, we're in the middle of moving and pretty much all of our time is used up packing and working. I'm kinda embarrassed to even ask a Doc about it. It seems kinda ridiculous.

I'll give you some history real quick.

I've always missed periods, from 6 weeks in between to 4 months (been since Sept this time). Bad cramps all the time. Went on the pill for about 7 years on and off to control it. Didn't have insurance for the last 2 years and went off it. In the last year, had major issues, longer gaps and longer lasting (3 weeks one time), had hair grow on my face and breasts (never did before) and had a higher temp then normal.

Update 2:

I guess it is pretty dumb that I'm embarassed to ask my doc, I had a bad experinace when I asked one about something I thought I had. I was mocked and laughed at. I stopped going to see him.

    Here's a link on Premature Ovarian Failure aka Premature Menopause:

    You more likely have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.

    Here's a link for that:

    Don't be affraid to talk to your gynecologist about this. You've got something going on hormonally. It needs checked out.

    If you had symptoms for diabetes would you feel silly for seeing a doctor? Well, this is the same type of thing. Your body isn't giving you what it needs.

    Earliest Age For Menopause

  • 1 decade ago

    Its entirely possible. While the "norm" is after the age of 40, some women experience premature menopause...and this can happen (while rare) as early as 16!!

    The best way of knowing is to go the store and buy a test called MenoCheck. Since you're not taking hormonal BC, it would be a good time to test.

    Have you talked to your doctor about this? There are a lot of websites and books out there on menopause which is basically the ovaries ceasing to function and produce estrogen/hormones. I find it unlikely that your ovaries would naturally stop functioning at such a young age.

    yes it is possible .my moms friend already went through menopause and she was 29 years old at the time.it all depends on your body i suppose .but it is quite rare.it could also be due to something else like hormonal changes in your body or maybe even sudden weight loss.the best would be to talk to your doctor.

    Yes, it's possible although it's not very likely. It could be something else. What you do need to do is speak with your doctor or gynocologist about the symptoms that you are experiencing.

    Most likely it is all the stress from the move. It can cause hormornal imbalances in a woman's body and can make your period irregular.
