My doctor prescribed prempro for my menopausal symptoms.  I would like to know the side effects if any i.e.weight gain. bloating.etc.  I am 38 years old and started showing signs of menopause after having a tubal ligation and removal of scar tissue and endometriosis. I haven't had a period since Oct.11,1997.  I have been experiencing hot flashes as well.
Do you think it's possible to go into menopause because of a surgical procedure and/or starting at such a young age.
I would like another opinion...thanks,pamela
