Premature and Early Menopause

Dr. Ekta Kapoor discusses the differences between early and premature menopause and their consequences, such as loss of fertility and estrogen deprivation. She reviews the importance of discussing these with a healthcare professional and not exchanging information with someone who has experienced a natural menopause because this situation is very different.

I am 65 and I am sitting here crying because no doctor ever allowed me the option to use HRT when I ended menses at 40 years old. Too young! I have none of the known risk factors. Now, I feel angry and sad that so much time has been wasted for me and now I no longer have the option. Even progressive physicians refuse to give HRT to someone my age. Low libido and early grave seem to be my plight. If this was men's medicine, I am damn sure all options would have been on the table. I am glad the information is out there now so my daughters will benefit.
