Menopause premature
When a woman stops menstruating between 40 and 45 years of age, she is considered to be in the stage of menopause, but early .Irregular menstrual periods are the first symptom that the main function of the ovaries-producing ovules-is about to cease permanently.From this point, symptoms of menopause begin to appear.

One of the causes of the early arrival of the climacteric can be hereditary.If your mother also went through the same, you have many possibilities to follow the steps.
Those who suffer from Turner syndrome (absence or lack of X chromosome) also has a propensity for menopause to arrive earlier, because their ovaries do not work properly.
Smokers may stop producing estrogens 2 or 3 years earlier than normal, as well as women with eating disorders, who are more likely to suffer from this irregularity, among others.
If you feel that you are experiencing symptoms of the climacteric, it is best to go to the gynecologist.They will do the necessary tests to diagnose you.One of them is a blood test where they measure estradiol levels (a form of estrogen) and follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), which is responsible for the ovaries to produce estrogen.If the FSH level is very high, it is synonymous with early menopause.
Late menopause
Unlike premature menopause, the late one occurs between 55 and 60 years .It may have health benefits, since for more time the body is nourished with the hormones that it produces naturally and protects from osteoporosis or cardiovascular problems; however, there is an increased risk of breast or cervical cancer.

If the causes of late menopause are sought, we find that, like the early climacteric, family history plays a great role.
It is also quite common in obese women, since fat can produce estrogens.
