Menopause Answer A3951 Posted: 04-21-08 16:39pm
Menopause is defined as a lack of
menstruation for more than a year. So, you
shouldn’t have menstruation (amenorrhea)
for more than a year to confirm that you
are in menopause. Before that final
menorrhea, the cycle is usually irregular
and is called pre-menopause. This means
that you can’t be in menopause but only
in pre-menopause. Your symptoms could be
due to pre-menopause (fatigue, ear
drumming, itching inside the body and body
numbness) but other symptoms could be due
to osteoporosis and arthritis (lower back
pain and joint problem) or pharyngitis
(sore throat).
You may want to consult your GP and your
gynecologist for a precise diagnosis.
