Why does the mestrual cycle stop during menopause?
First of all it is not exactly 47. It's different for everyone. It is because you are no longer able to release the egg cells needed to produce babies. So without the egg cells, certain chemicals are not produced, and the uterus no longer prepares its lining for childbirth. So with no lining, there is no tissue and blood to shed each month.

You are 22 years old and you are getting hot flashes what might be causing this?
In older women, hot flashes are usually a sign of insufficient or fluctuating hormone levels as one goes into menopause. Obviously, this is less likely to be the cause in someone your age! A more common cause that would need to be ruled out is a problem with the thyroid gland. When the thyroid gland becomes over active, this can provoke many symptoms, including hot flashes, sweating, nervousness, weight loss, changes in the skin or hair, and palpitations. Hyperthyroidism, or overactive thyroid gland, can occur in people of any age. Your doctor can rule out a problem with the thyroid gland be performing a physical examination and some simple blood tests. If you have any other symptoms other than those above, you should also mention those to your doctor. For example, if you have recently started to have irregular periods, this might be a sign of premature changes in the hormones produced by the ovaries that might mimic menopause. Although pretty unusual in someone your age, this would be the other thing to rule out. Start by a complete physical examination with your primary care doctor. If any concerning findings are uncovered, they will help you decide what treatments are necessary.

How does menopause affect a narcissistic woman?
I don't know the answer for certain, but I can say that I have had the same concern myself. I have come to my own conclusion that it would make the disorder even worse due to an increasing feeling of loss of control and power, and the emotional swings that come as a result of the hormonal changes from menopause. I feel this is particularly true of women who use their bodies and sex as a means of manipulation and control.
I have heard experts say that narcissism does NOT improve with age.

Can Lexapro help with menopause?
I know some doctors have taken to prescribing antidepressants to menopausal and perimenopausal women for hot flashes or what have you, but I believe this is a detrimental thing to do:
First of all, the antidepressants mess with your hormones. Your hormones are already going through a transition. To further exacerbate this situation is like asking for trouble.
Secondly, one of the two MAJOR complaints of menopausal women are lack of sex drive and weight gain --- both of these are notorious side effects of antidepressants. So you might alleviate a bit of the hot flashes, but you're going to have hormonally imbalanced, increasingly fat and sexually-unhappy women going around (and this affects the spouses, the families, everyone).
I would suggest staying away from antidepressants in the treatment of menopause. Go with herbal, SAFE menopause relief. Know your options, and give your body what it needs to transition smoothly, not just mask an issue.
