What Causes Night Sweats And Irregular Periods?

I am experiencing some pre menopausal symptoms. Some night sweats, and irregular periods. My biggest concern is my period is lasting for 4 weeks now and very heavy. I have been going through 3-4 pads a day. No cramps or pain involved, and is often with blood clots. I know I need to go see my doctor, but could this be more than menopausal symptoms?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

May I know your age?

Menopause usually starts after 40-45 years of age. It is also possible to have early menopause in some women. So, yes your symptoms could be due to pre-menopausal hormonal changes.

Consult your gynecologist. She will decide after proper examination and investigations that whether you need hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) or not. HRT has its own pros and cons, and patient selection is most important in this therapy.

The premenopausal symptoms like night sweat, weakness, dizziness, and flushing usually relieved by simply NSAIDs like Ibuprofen.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Hiren Hirpara
