I've been doing some reading on bioidentical hormone therapy, because a lot of my symptoms point towards a hormonal imbalance - I'm guessing early menopause because I'm only 34... Many of the symptoms, like hot flashes, night sweats etc. don't affect me, but I'm tired all the time and have put a lot of weight on recently. I've also been really bloated lately, but haven't found any link between menopause and bloating, so I'm not certain that's what it is. Are there other symptoms of menopause that aren't talked about as much as hot flashes and all the other trademark menopause symptoms?

How to control and prevent hot flashes during menopause
Many different things can trigger a hot flash. Emotional triggers, such as embarrassment, are among the most common. Other hormonal issues can also be triggers for hot flashes. For example, if you take too much thyroid hormone for hypothyroidism, you may have a hot flash. Elevated cortisol levels due to stress can also lead to hot flashes. Other potential triggers include fluctuating blood sugar levels, any kind of adrenaline surge, alcohol and foods that contain MSG.

Did cavewomen go through menopause?
Today, women accept menopause as a natural part of life. However, in the times of early civilization, women didn’t go through menopause because they didn’t live long enough to experience it. While women today can live well into their 90’s, the average lifespan in the Neolithic era was less than 40. As our species evolved over the next five thousand years, we would see the average lifespan near double, thanks to medical advancements, scientific research and the miracle of evolution.

Menopause vs. Andropause: Understanding the difference
Testosterone levels gradually decline throughout adulthood — about 1 percent a year after age 30 on average. By about age 70, the decrease in a man's testosterone level can be as much as 50 percent.” It is possible, however, that low levels of testosterone are being caused by various medical conditions such as sleep apnea, rather than just aging. It is important to receive a medical examination if experiencing effects of low testosterone to identify the true cause.
