    Default Pre-menopause

    Yes I know strange for a guy to be asking yes . But I do have questions because I am concerned with my wife and her really sharp mood swings and other behavior . Her Mother is staying with us for the last two weeks - if thats not enough to throw her over the edge lol . But her Mother did tell me some things about my wife that I didnt know 1) Her periods are not as predictable as they once were 2) She is having some hot flashes during sleep . I myself have noticed her mood swings and she will later come to me and apoligize but man she sure can push the buttons lately .What is the best way to approach her on this matter . And has anyone experienced this and what did you do ? I have read about medications for this ( hormones ) and also herbal remidies please any advice would be appreciated thank you .

    How old is she? That will give you your best clue. Over 45? Most likely pre-menopausal. My mom is 50 and is now getting very irregular/frequent and heavy periods. Before that, it was insane mood swings. She and I recently decided that it was probably that time and so her doctor is keeping a closer eye on her (no need for hormones yet).

    Just sit and talk to your wife. No accusations or confrontation. Mention what you've noticed, ask her what she thinks is the cause, and then ask her if she thinks it could be signs of menopause. Or you could ask her mother to talk to her since she's noticed things too and I'm sure her mom can relate.

    Hormone therapy should only be done with a doctor's permission/guidance so she'll have to speak to her doctor about her symptoms before anything else can happen.

    What about good ol' PMS. Birth control pills can work wonders for some women. If she is on them, maybe she needs a new type. If she's not, maybe she could ask her doctor about going on them to help. I'm not sure about the hot flash thing, but I'm thinking they must have not been that intense--otherwise you would have noticed. From what I have seen and heard from women that have had them, they could walk out naked on the coldest winter night and still be hot. Apparently it's so uncomfortable, you would be woke up for sure.

    Well more information - she is 41 and she has never been on bc , and has never had kids - for medical reasons it just hasnt been possible for her to get pregnant she had a couple of operations but they did not work . Years ago ( 15 ) they put her on some hormone meds but this did not work either - she thinks this has affected her physically over the years - migrains and such . I think I will talk with her she really doesnt take advice well from her Mother lol . They came home last night from shopping and the best description of the post -argument was like two bob- cats thrown in a gunny-sack and shaken violently .

    Evening primrose oil can help alleviate pre-menopausal symptoms, as can black cohosh. Give 'em a google!

    After that brief history info...this sounds way complicated and beyond my years. I think she should talk with her doctor. But first, does she even realize something is wrong? Has she realized her own behavior changing so drastic?
