Please help me, I'm worried about my mom?

No. It is not a symptom of menopause. There is something going on with your mom that they either do not know and are worried about or they do know and don't want to tell you.

They obviously don't want you to worry but are making the situation worse by shutting you out. I think you need to get your mom aside and when she is in a good mood and let her know how you feel.

You could say, "Mom, I can't sleep at night, I can't concentrate at school, my grades are dropping, I love you and I am worried about you. Please tell me, do you have cancer, have you seen a doctor? because I really, really need to know." She will have to reply somehow. I am not saying that she does have cancer, she could have all sorts of conditions or maybe she is just worried herself and has not even seen a doctor.

They think that they are protecting you from disturbing information but it is only making it worse. Families have to deal with problems together and you should not be excluded. If/when you confront her, make sure you have time, privacy and no distractions. If you throw the word "cancer" at her it may jolt her into either saying yes or no and you can take it from there.

Hah, I'm the complete opposite. I worry about everything; I get stressed so easily. On the other hand, my mom is like a free spirit. She hardly worries about anything, and she has more things to do than I do. So there I am, sitting in the car beside her, worrying I'm going to be late for something (Of course, I'm always late). And my mom's just there, reassuring me that I won't be late. She has no worries in the world.

Bless your heart. Your too young to be under so much stress. Your parents should be more understanding to you. Do you have anyone else you can talk to? You really need to find someone you trust to ask them for advice and get help for your worries. You are a very mature responsible child. I would love to have you around here lol.

I truly feel for you. I want to say it's the change of life but then I'm not a doctor. It's different for every woman so it's best to talk to an adult at school or relative, someone you feel comfortable with.

I hope things get better for you and your family. Keep doing what your doing. It's not you it's your mom and dad. Your doing the best you can. You need to be a child and enjoy that. You'll be an adult soon enough. Take care of yourself and good luck sweetie.

Your mom may be going through menopause. You may consider reading up on it to help yourself understand menopause and definitely talk to your parents together and let them know how you feel exactly. If mom is sick then ask her to tell you how so and how you can help. Let your parents know that leaving you out of the loop adds to your worries and stress as well. I'm fifty years old and am a huge believer in telling your children as much as they are able to handle and understand. You could all be a support to each other. I know I always shared with my daughter and that made us closer. Your mom's issue isn't because of you, just try to remember that as tough as that maybe be to do. I hope your mom feels better soon and please take care.

That's terrible she won't tell you especially since you're so worried!

It could possibly be menopause, but I'm not sure, it sounds like more than that...here's some symptoms of menopause. http://www.project-aware.org/Experience/symptoms.s...

I would talk to your school counselor about this and tell her how you feel. Maybe she can give your mom a call and try to figure out what's going on.

I hope everything goes well. -Amy

Menopause Signs Symptoms

The most common symptom of perimenopause, menopause signs symptoms associated with it is menstrual irregularity and spotting during the monthly cycle. Frequent periods for too long and heavy bleeding or light bleeding occur during peri menopause. While osteoporosis has now become common among women whose calcium intake is less, it also happens to women prior to entering this state.

As women grow older they tend to lack in calcium that weakens the bones and osteoporosis settles in. Taking 1500 mg calcium daily can prevent this from happening. Elevated cholesterol levels are also one of the symptoms. With age, the good cholesterol decreases and bad cholesterol will increases leading to coronary disease.

A rigid dietary control is essential during this period. The transition varies for each woman. Some experience it according to a mother’s or elder sister’s transition and changes at that time. With the decrease in the Estrogen hormone, some physical changes like hair loss, facial hair and weight gain are some problems that upset a woman.

A good diet and regular exercises will help in maintaining a balanced metabolism. This includes flushing out the system by drinking water which should be at least 8 glasses a day. Natural herbs can be taken after consulting a doctor.

Hello,

Menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding)

In some cases, the cause of heavy menstrual bleeding is unknown, but a number of conditions may cause menorrhagia. Common causes include:

■Hormonal imbalance. In a normal menstrual cycle, a balance between the hormones estrogen and progesterone regulates the buildup of the lining of the uterus (endometrium), which is shed during menstruation. If a hormonal imbalance occurs, the endometrium develops in excess and eventually sheds by way of heavy menstrual bleeding.

■Dysfunction of the ovaries. Lack of ovulation (anovulation) may cause hormonal imbalance and result in menorrhagia.

■Uterine fibroids. These noncancerous (benign) tumors of the uterus appear during your childbearing years. Uterine fibroids may cause heavier than normal or prolonged menstrual bleeding.

■Polyps. Small, benign growths on the lining of the uterine wall (uterine polyps) may cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Polyps of the uterus most commonly occur in women of reproductive age as the result of high hormone levels.

■Adenomyosis. This condition occurs when glands from the endometrium become embedded in the uterine muscle, often causing heavy bleeding and pain. Adenomyosis is most likely to develop if you're a middle-aged woman who has had many children.

■Intrauterine device (IUD). Menorrhagia is a well-known side effect of using a nonhormonal intrauterine device for birth control. When an IUD is the cause of excessive menstrual bleeding, you may need to remove it.

■Pregnancy complications. A single, heavy, late period may be due to a miscarriage. If bleeding occurs at the usual time of menstruation, however, miscarriage is unlikely to be the cause. An ectopic pregnancy — implantation of a fertilized egg within the fallopian tube instead of the uterus — also may cause menorrhagia.

■Cancer. Rarely, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer can cause excessive menstrual bleeding.

■Inherited bleeding disorders. Some blood coagulation disorders — such as von Willebrand's disease, a condition in which an important blood-clotting factor is deficient or impaired — can cause abnormal menstrual bleeding.

■Medications. Certain drugs, including anti-inflammatory medications and anticoagulants (to prevent blood clots), can contribute to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding. Improper use of hormone medications also can cause menorrhagia.

■Other medical conditions. A number of other medical conditions, including pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), thyroid problems, endometriosis, and liver or kidney disease, may cause menorrhagia.

Good luck to your Mom.

Give your mom some space, and stay out of her way unless she asks you for help. You focusing on YOUR job, school, and keeping your grades up is the best way to make her and dad happy over the long term. Your allowing yourself to worry about her wont help her through this, or you.
