What Are The Pre-menopausal Signs And Symptoms?
Question: Please advise...I am 9 weeks late for my menstrual cycle, breasts swollen and sore nipples, tightness and light cramping in lower abdomen, constipation, strange cravings for weird foods, insomnia and also fatique, emotionally unstable (crying at the drop of a hat daily)...two urine tests and a blood test for pregnancy all were negative. Also I can feel a knot, the size of a golf ball in my lower abdomen. I had a tubal ligation 6 years ago, I am 39 years old healthy with no medical issues at all. ????.
Brief Answer:
You seem to be having pre-menopausal symptoms
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have carefully gone through your query. There are two possibilities to consider:
* The most likely possibility is that you are probably having symptoms of pre-menopausal syndrome. Visiting a gynecologist and getting a hormonal assay done will clarify things further.
* The less likely possibility is pregnancy. But if that is the case urine pregnancy tests would eventually show. Blood HCG is a more sensitive test and may be checked. If negative, you can safely assume that you are having pre-menopausal syndrome. In that case hormone replacement therapy might be an option to consider but talk to your gynecologist about it.
Hope that helped.
Regards
