Early Menopause
Introduction
Submitted by ruth on 9 November 2006 - 7:28pm. Early Menopause | About UsI have set up this Early Menopause website to provide reliable information based support, as there seems to be a great need from women who are experiencing this difficult medical condition, and also to GPs, and other health professionals working in the field. My aim is to provide you with the opportunity to access up to the minute U.K. and international news on early menopause, as and when stories develop, which you will be able to read. There are also interesting interviews on the site, with a number of eminent consultants in the field of menopause, plus conference reports that I have written.
What is Premature Menopause?
Submitted by ruth on 13 October 2006 - 7:09pm. Early Menopause | FeaturesPremature menopause(also called premature ovarian failure) is defined as the onset of menopause before the age of 45. It affects approximately one in every 100 women before the age og 45, one in 1,000 women under 30 and one in 10,000 women under 20.
During the process of spontaneous premature menopause, the ovary is depleted of eggs and stops making the two main ovarian hormones Oestrogen and Progesterone. This means that no eggs will be released and the monthly cycle and menstrual bleed will cease. Premature menopause can occur for several reasons.
Pelvic organ surgery, such as a total hysterectomy, in conjunction with a bilateral ooporectomy(removal of both ovaries) will cause an immmediate and often highly symptomatic menopause.

Hormone replacement tied to lung cancer risk
Submitted by ruth on 3 March 2010 - 1:05pm. Early Menopause | NewsWomen who use hormone replacement therapy combining estrogen and progestin may have a higher risk of lung cancer than non-users, a new study finds
Whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) itself is to blame is not certain, researchers say. But the findings add to the complicated mix of potential health effects of HRT.
The study, published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, looked at new lung cancer diagnoses among more than 36,000 women ages 50 to 75 who were followed over six years. During that time, 344 women developed the cancer.
Overall, researchers found, the risk was greater among women who had used HRT containing estrogen and progestin (a synthetic version of the hormone progesterone) compared with women who had never used HRT.
Soy is unlikely to trim body fat after menopause
Submitted by ruth on 3 March 2010 - 1:02pm. Early Menopause | NewsOestrogen-like compounds found in soy won't help limit body fat in post-menopausal women, new research shows.
Animal studies and small studies in humans have offered some evidence that these compounds, known as isoflavones, could help build muscle mass and reduce fat mass, Dr. Oksana A. Matvienko of the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls and her colleagues write in the journal Menopause.
It's unclear why such compounds might have any effect on body composition, but it's possible that they might act as estrogen does, to affect hormones that play a role in fat and sugar metabolism.
