How do you recognise early menopause?
Recognising early menopause is essential to take timely action. Symptoms of early menopause include mood swings, lower sex drive, hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations, headaches, vaginal dryness, pain during sex and sleep problems. If you experience these symptoms, it may indicate that your body is entering the menopause early.
A reliable way to get clarity is to check the FSH level in your urine. This can be done easily with a self-test. An elevated FSH level of 25 mIE/ml or higher indicates that you may be in (early) menopause.
