• Menopause is the natural process that is observed
  when the end of the menstrual cycle occurs. It is
  evident when ovaries discontinue the production
  of eggs and estrogen levels decline in a womans
  body. Estrogen is responsible to regulate the
  reproductive cycle. Generally, it occurs between
  the ages of 45-55. A condition where a woman

Reasons for Premature Menopause

• Dr. Shivani Sachdev Gour the best gynecologist
  in Delhi NCR explains the following reasons for
  preterm menopause.
• Inherited Condition If the causes of early
  menopause are not clear, the possible reason for

  possibility of your early menopause. Fragile X
  syndrome that can pass through genes, may be a
  reason for this condition.

• Radiation or Chemotherapy Radiation treatment or
  chemotherapy has a negative impact on the ovaries
  and estrogen production. Removal of ovaries in
  case of any ovarian infection is also a reason
  for early menopause. However, in these cases, the
  doctor suggests cryopreservation of ovaries or
  eggs.
• Unhealthy Lifestyle Smoking and excessive
  drinking can have adverse effects on estrogen
  levels. An imbalance diet can lead to low BMI
  that has an impact on estrogen level as estrogen
  is stored in the fat tissues.
• Autoimmune Diseases Thyroid and arthritis are
  autoimmune diseases, where the immune system
  attacks a self-body part. It causes
  hyper-inflammation and can damage the ovaries.
