I've a cat I took responsibility for a year ago. He is now 2 years old. He was 'fixed' before I got him. He was never declawed. He is usually REALLY good about not scratching furniture or things he shouldn't. Until Saturday morning. I left my closet open a crack, and he is a curious fellow, and loves the closet for some reason.
Defects in the chromosomes can cause premature menopause. For example, women with Turner's syndrome are born without a second X chromosome or without part of the chromosome. The ovaries don't form normally, and early menopause is often the result.
What Is Early Menopause? The average age at which women typically experience menopause is around age 51. Early menopause, also referred to as premature menopause, premature ovarian failure (POF) and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), occurs when a woman experiences menopause prior to turning age 40.
