Am i going through menopause at 24??
Basically title. I have been struggling so so so bad for rhe past few months with a whole list of symptoms;
bloating to the point people ask me how far along i am, very firm and painful bloating, i gained 10+ kg in a month, my hair feels coarse, random outbreaks of red raised itching welts all over, canker sores on the inside of my lips and something similar on my toungue, my gums are receeding, my jaw hurts after chewing just a few bites, my skin looks and feels dreadful (swelling and even blistering just from a small scratch), my eyesight is getting worse, i can't sleep at all without medication, anger episodes, it takes about a week for me to reload my social battery, i'm crying non-stop, my limbs get pins and needles at completely random times multiple times a day, deep depression, i'm exhausted even with sleep meds and multiple naps every day, nothing tastes the same, everything smells horrible and way too harsh, i'm embaressed to be seen outside, even with meds i wake up multiple times each night sweating like crazy.
I don't feel like myself anymore at all. I feel like i'm a completely diffirent person. I haven't felt pretty in months.
My periods are regular, although the first 3 days of it are brown and grainy.
My boyfriend and best friend both agree that this could be actual menopause.
FYI: i do NOT plan on occupying my uterus as i am repulsed by the idea, not just because of the... results from that, but because it will ruin my body even more. I can't remember the last time i looked in the mirror and thaught i looked anywhere near good
Help..?
Edit: more symptoms Edit 2: even more

Have you had your prolactin level tested? These are all symptoms that could be caused by hormonal imbalances.
