Menopausal stage

Detailed Answer:
Hi, thanks for using Healthcaremagic .

I went through tour query and understood your concerns.

it is normal to experience hormonal instability at your age. Often one of the first signs of menopause is a drop in progesterone production, which prompts the body to increase estrogen levels to compensate for this decline.
Secondly stress and diet which is rich in refined sugar can increase your esterogen levels.

I need few more details on your history to help you in a better way.
Your menustral history?
are you on any esterogen supplements?
Is your weight with in normal limits?

At your age better to rule out ovarian problems by getting ultrasound examination done.

Get back to me with above details.
Wish you a good health
