Does going through menopause early mean I’m aging more quickly?
Absolutely not! Going through menopause years before you expected it and years before most other women go through it (age 51) doesn’t mean you’re suddenly older. It does mean that your ovaries aren’t functioning the way as those of most women in their 20s and 30s. But early or premature menopause doesn’t mean that you’ve got a shorter life span, or that you’ve fast-forwarded to the body of an older woman. Yes, there are certain health risks that you now face like the threat of osteoporosis ( bone loss ); you might notice your skin getting drier or a change in your body shape. But if you go on HRT or try and replace your hormones through natural methods, you can minimize those risks, reverse those symptoms and feel like yourself again.
