MENOPAUSE

Hello Stella,i am 43yrs, Mother of 5,fast forward to 4yrs ago, after i had my 4th child, which is my first son.

i started having  hot flashes, abdominal pain,sharp pain under my feet, peppery virginal,hips pain,itching all over my body,sweating,adding unusual weight,no sleep at night,no menstruation,i cant walk long distance,always feeling tired,all sort of things i can not even explain here happened to my body,i thought i was going to die o.

I went to the hospital and i was told to run some test, after the test i was placed on Augmentin,piritin and some malaria drugs,i was relieve  a bit ,then it started again,i now started asking mothers with experience,some said that my body was not properly pressed with hot water to bring out the lochia,that there are  left over  lochia in my body,that it can cause all sort of things in the body if not properly flushed,some said,it was because i have not given birth to a boy before.

some said my womb shifted, some said it was because i did not see my period,some said it was due to my age,all sort was said,so i went to general hospital to run another round of test,Stella,if u see the list of test they did for me,u go fear,i cant even mention their names,at the end of the day, the doctor said i am PERFECTLY OK that am having pre menopause symptoms,i thought menopause is for women above fifty,he said some start as early as 35,i asked if there is anything i can do to stop all the pains,he said, nothing, except i avoid some food,that with time it Will stop on its own.After a year and four months,my menstruation came back,i was total relieved.

I got pregnant When pills failed me early last year and all the pains vanish,the symptoms are back again after i deliver.I am so scared to face pains again,especially hot flashes.

My question is has anyone experience early pre menopause symptoms and how do they tackle it aside medication,secondly,is it true that left over lochia can cause all sort of sickness to the woman body?
