If you happen to have not experienced your monthly menstrual cycle for the last 12 months, chances are you have already gone through to the menopause zone. Once your hormonal imbalance has set in, it sets off a series of events that ultimately lead to your ovaries no longer able to produce egg cells. Here are the top ten causes of early menopause in women:

  1. Everyday unmanaged stress – This results in the female body having higher levels of cortisol. This can subsequently do a real number on a woman’s immune system which eventually leads to hormonal imbalance as well as symptoms that signify adrenal fatigue.
2.     Obesity – Being obese can curb ovarian hormone production.

3.     Poor diets – Food that is high in processed ingredients, vegetables that have been grown with the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides contributes to the female body having hormonal imbalance. This then leads to early menopause.

4.     Autoimmune disorders – This can cause one’s immune system to eliminate the ovarian tissues responsible for the production of hormones.

5.     Estrogen dominance – This can be the result of long term oral contraceptive usage and steroid medicine which in turn lead to the female body having hormonal imbalance.

6.     Exposure to chemicals each day – Such chemicals get applied to the face and body among others. Additionally, the food that gets taken in is also filled with them. Also, they get inhaled. Some of these chemicals have the ability to change the female body’s hormones. This can lead to hormonal drop or rise which can then lead to early menopause.

7.     Chemotherapy – Sure, this is done in order to kill ovarian cancer cells (if a woman has that) but unfortunately this also kills healthy ovarian cells. Thus, one of the causes of early menopause is chemotherapy.

8.     Certain surgical procedures – Certain surgical procedures such as a hysterectomy are very likely causes of early menopause.

9.     Heredity – This can play a major role in why a woman goes into early menopause. If her mother went into early menopause then it is very likely that such a woman will then enter early menopause as well.

10.   Ovarian failure – This can be the untoward result of having a sickness such as liver disease, mumps or tuberculosis. This can then lead to lower levels of hormone production as well as early menopause.

By taking note of the causes of early menopause, you can help prevent or at least delay it.
