Overview
Menopause occurs naturally or can be induced, Induced menopause happens as a result of bilateral oophorectomy, hysterectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, a complication of tubal ligation, complications of treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy, autoimmune diseases such as thyroid disease, rheumatoid arthritis, Turner’s syndrome, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome, polycystic ovary syndrome, premature ovarian insufficiency.
Several risk factors accelerate happen early menopause such as undiagnosed and untreated coeliac disease, family history and Cigarette smoking has been found to decrease the age at menopause by as much as one year and women who smoke have early menopause before non-smoking women.[1][2]
causes
Common causes:
- Age:
As women age, physiological menopause happened is the result of the eventual atresia of almost all oocytes in the ovaries and deficiency of estrogen and progesterone hormone production.
- Certain health conditions:
- Autoimmune diseases
- rheumatoid arthritis
- diabetes mellitus
- Premature ovarian insufficiency
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Chemotherapy or radiotherapy:.
Treatments of cancer can damage of ovaries and cause periods to stop forever or just for a while.
- Surgical causes:
- Bilateral oophorectomy and salpingo-oophorectomy, periods will stop after this surgery, and hormone levels will drop quickly with strong menopausal symptoms.
- Hysterectomy, removal of the uterus, hysterectomy, does not itself cause menopause, although pelvic surgery can sometimes precipitate somewhat earlier menopause, perhaps because of compromised blood supply to the ovaries. Women who have undergone hysterectomy with ovary conservation go through menopause 3.7 years earlier than average.
Less common causes:
- Chronic fatigue syndrome, Women with chronic fatigue syndrome are more likely to have early or premature menopause.
- HIV and AIDS, Women with HIV whose infection is not well controlled with medicine may experience early menopause. Women with HIV may also have more severe hot flashes than women without HIV.
Genetic cause:
- Fragile X syndrome gene or Missing chromosomes such as Turner’s syndrome.
