A 33-year-old woman attends the GP due to menstrual problems

A 33-year-old woman attends the GP due to menstrual problems. She has had regular menstrual periods all of her life, but over the past six months has only had two periods – both of which lasted around 10 days, although she was only bleeding a small amount each day. She has also been suffering from regular headaches which are increasing in frequency, and now happening on an almost daily basis. She is concerned that these symptoms mean she is going through an early menopause.
