45 Year-old Have Menstruation. Having Lower Back, Abdominal Cramps And Mood Swings. Suffer Bi-polar And Anxiety. Suggest?

Hi, my names' Kimberly. I'm a 45 year-old woman who still is menstruating monthly. The trouble is, is that the past few years, I've been having severe lower buttock and lower back and lower abdominal horrendous cramping before my periods. I'm about 188lbs, and also my moods swings are violent and I've gained twice more weight on my waist. I'm very bloated. I also suffer from bi-polar & anxiety disorder. I fear that I may be peri-menopausal and that it's affecting me horribly with the pain and mental illness. What can you advise me on this? Do you think I'm hitting menopause? I'm not afraid of menopause, but I'm scared of my period time and the awful P.M.S. What can you tell me and what can I do?....Kimberly

Hi,
It seems that you are in pre-menopause phase.
Due to some hormonal changes going on at this age, you got all these problems.
You might be having hot flushes and mood swing due to this.
Consult Gynaec and get examined and possibility of having hormonal replacement therapy.
Attend Menopausal clinic and go for counseling.
Ok and take care.
