Hi,
Thanks for the query.
According to your FSH level, there is possibility of premature menopause.
You can go for complete hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, LH and FSH to confirm this.
Usually in case of premature menopause, hormonal replacement therapy is advised to avoid complications due to decrease in the hormonal levels.
And it is true that, hormonal replacement therapy can lead to some side effects.
To avoid this, you can:
- Foods rich in phytoestogens like soya products, can drink soyamilk.
Beans, other green leafy vegetables also help in supplying phytoestogens.
-Taking artificial phytoestogens supplements.
Discuss these with your doctor and follow her advice.
Take care.
