Symptoms Of Early Menopause

I have started an early menopause.?

Although i don't have a period i have all the usual symptoms every month now with the menopause also having hot flushes and sweats which can be very draining. I take Black cohosh which help a bit. Anyone know of anything else that would help me with this early menopause.Thanks
Sorry forgot to say have been diagnosed after blood tests this is 1 and a half yrs later.Pains on my joints and more symptoms than before.Would like to take something before it gets any worse.I take Evening primrose oil, black cohosh & cod liver oil tablets but if there's anything else i should be taking would love to know.Thanks again

Thanks to you all never gave anyone thumbs down don't know what happened there.

Let's get something straight here.

Menopause is not a process. Menopause is the cessation of the menstrual cycle, and can only be identified in retrospect, as in, it's been a year with no periods and no spotting, that must have been menopause.

Perimenopause is a process, and it generally begins in the early 30's. That's why fertility rates begin to decline in the early 30's.

You haven't talked about soy in your diet, and that would help. Other than that, talk with your doctor. Or, just get used to the idea that this is a normal part of life, just as is menarche, menstruation, childbirth and death.
