premature menopause

Most shmirshkies begin to experience perimenopause and menopause (PM&M) symptoms in their forties or fifties. Early PM&M storms can also occur for some shmirshkies. If a shmirshky’s period is gone for twelve consecutive months or more, before the age of forty, this is currently known as premature menopause. Many resources say premature menopause can be a result of one’s genetic makeup, an illness, or medical procedures; however, some restrict it to only natural (nonsurgical) causes.
