Hi 1i am 40 yrs old, my period has always been regular, 3 months back I had missed a period, My period is 6 days late this month, now I am experiencing hot flashes(sweating) for the past couple days throughout the day, I have noticed that my body temp is higher than usual, I have also have been very tired lately and have also been having mild headaches as well. These are all new symptoms that have just come on within the past week. Can you give me an idea of what s going on?

HELLO,
WELCOME TO HCM AND THANKS FOR YOUR QUERY.
THE NEW SET OF SYMPTOMS YOUR HAVING ARE MORE LIKELY SYMPTOMS THAT MAKE UP THE PRE MENOPAUSAL SYND. YOUR MENSES WILL ALSO TEND TO BE MORE IRREGULAR UNTIL IT FINALLY CEASES COMPLETELY.ITS A TOTALLY TRYING PERIOD BECAUSE YOUR BODY IS TRYING TO ADAPT TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF HORMONAL INTERPLAY.
YOU COULD EVENTUALLY TRY SOME HORMONAL THERAPY LATER ON BUT YOU HAVE TO CHECK WITH YOUR GYNECOLOGIST FOR MORE REVIEW,COUNSELLING AND ADVISE.
THANKS.
KINDEST REGARDS,
DR. MICHEAL
