Uncertainty and negative expectations are common responses to the
menopause. When it happens too early (sometimes as young as 16) it
can be particularly distressing with concerns about physical
health, as well as possible social and emotional consequences.
Young women are faced with a condition, the causes of which are not
well understood, and about which very little is written in medical
or lay literature.
In medical texts premature menopause is typically mentioned
only in passing, and from the woman's perspective it remains a
hidden secret. This can only compound the difficulty for women for
whom the life process has suddenly swept into fast forward.
Premature menopause can have profound implications both for the
woman herself and her partner and family. She is faced with
physical and emotional concerns that are usually not considered
until much later in life, such as: will she age prematurely? will
she need to take long-term medication? will she come to terms with
loss of fertility? are there alternative treatments? are there
consequences for her future health?
