Can you answer Erica, AKA Stretch’s question about Menopause?:

I’m 26 years old and have a very consistent menstrual cycle. I’ve only missed my period twice since I’ve started at 12 years old. But I have been experiencing Hot Flashes at night and during the day. There have been people who have started menopause early, but I do not have any other symptoms.

I’ve always been “hot stuff” and do not tolerate heat. It’s winter now and I have still feel like I have hot flashes about once a day. Currently I am not on medications or have any other symptoms. I do have insomnia that I’ve been coping with. Do you have any suggestions on what else could be going on? Is this “minor” issue worth going to the doctor for?
