Anne Henderson, a British Menopause Society Advanced Specialist, provides expert insights in the article about the influencer’s experience with premature menopause at 27. She explains that premature menopause, also known as premature ovarian insufficiency, occurs when a woman’s ovaries stop functioning before the age of 40.
Miss Henderson discusses potential causes, such as genetic factors, autoimmune disorders, or medical treatments like chemotherapy. She emphasises the importance of early diagnosis and expert specialist menopause management to address symptoms and reduce long-term health risks, including osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. She also highlights the emotional challenges in women that go through premature menopause and the need for additional psychological support.
Anne comments, “‘Premature menopause is a completely different scenario from a natural menopause. It is imperative that it is treated properly with HRT or some form of estrogen replacement until the age of traditional menopause.”
