Perimenopause...not sure
« on: June 10, 2013, 09:23:17 AM »

Hi everyone...Im new to the site and im so glad I came across it as im so confused....Im 45 and 10 years ago I had an hysterectomy because of fibroids....they left my ovaries. Is it true I could start the menopause earlier? my mother started age 48/50. As I don't have periods I don't know.
I have been moody and so weepy lately and for the past year I have been having water infections/cystitis...and my mother starting having cystitis after menopause for the first time. Theres no night sweats or hot flushes. It might just be me feeling down but its not normal for me.  :(

 :welcomemm:  if you do a search for all of your symptoms I am sure that in the Forum you will find that other ladies have suffered similarlly!  Certainly I had several urine infections when I first went into menopause and more recently, these heralded the wonderful World of vaginal atrophy  >:(  ......... your urine must be sent away to a Lab. to be analysed.  This makes sure that you are given the correct anti-biotics if necessary.  If your tests come back clear, then talkign to your Practice Nurse about atrophy is important.  I didn't realise how important  ::)

Browse round.  Welcome to our World.  There is a funny room ........
