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.
Menopause (the natural cessation of menstruation that usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55) can increase a womanâs risk of developing osteoporosis, a condition in which bones become thin and may fracture easily. The drop in oestrogen levels that occurs around the time of menopause results in increased bone loss.
