A 24-year-old woman claims that she has chosen to go through a temporary menopause for a second time.

Chanelle Urquhart, van Hull, has endometriosis, a painful condition in which tissue similar to the womb lining begins to grow in other places.

Two years ago, she chose to start taking injections to stop producing estrogen, which encourages endometriosis tissue to grow and shed.

Mrs. Urquhart – whose pain started when she was only 12 – stopped taking the injection because it affected her mood.

In April, she decided to try a nasal spray that temporarily induces menopause, and she claims it & # 39; much better & # 39; is then the prick.

Mrs. Urquhart admits that her menopause – which is completely reversible – causes common symptoms such as hot flashes and memory loss.

The spray does not control her pain, for which she uses Tramadol and other medicines every day, but it has given her a & # 39; huge relief & # 39; given by handling her heavy menstrual period, making her bedridden because of the pain.

The American Mayo Clinic says that endometriosis patients usually describe menstrual pain that is much worse than normal.

Mrs. Urquhart discussed her decision and said: “It felt a bit strange to go through the menopause at such a young age, because they are mostly older women.

& # 39; The first time I got a monthly menopause from a monthly injection was two years ago, but it affected my mood more than ever. & # 39;

She added that the nasal spray is better because it does not have much influence on her mental health and she can stop using it anytime.

The nasal spray is used every morning, in contrast to the monthly injection she received once a month.

Mrs. Urquhart said: “It doesn’t stop my daily pain, so I take Tramadol, but it stops my terrible menstruation and stops the growth of endometriosis.”

In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 51, according to the NHS.

The menopause occurs when your ovaries stop producing as much as possible hormone estrogen and no longer release an egg every month.

However, every year thousands of women choose to enter the menopause surgically, which can be temporary or permanent.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRH) provide relief in endometriosis patients.

GnRH temporarily switches off the ovaries and stops estrogen production, University College London Hospitals says.

The confidence adds: & # 39; This results in a temporary but reversible menopause. This tends to cause shrinkage of endometriosis because the condition is estrogen dependent. & # 39;

Mrs. Urquhart added: & # 39; If the pain persists, I will consider a hysterectomy in the future, although it is not a cure. & # 39;

Women with a life-changing procedure immediately enter a non-reversible menopause if their ovaries are removed at the same time.

Mrs Urquhart’s symptoms started when she was 12 – but she was fired by doctors and claimed to feel she was exaggerating & # 39;

This happens regardless of how old they are and means that they are no longer able to become pregnant naturally.

Mrs. Urquhart discussed her endometriosis side effects and said: “The pain in my stomach was constant.

& # 39; It felt like there was a little person in my stomach waving a knife. & # 39;

She postponed her second year at the university to study biomedical sciences because of her mental health and pain. It is unclear whether she has resumed her course.

It is thought that around 1.5 million women in the UK and 6.5 million in the US suffer from endometriosis.

The cause is unknown, but may be genetic, related to immune system problems or exposure to chemicals.

Mrs. Urquhart’s symptoms started when she was 12 – but she was fired by doctors and claimed she felt she was exaggerating & # 39;

Some doctors even claimed that her pain was due to an STD, making her feel like she & # 39; was going crazy & # 39 ;.

Test results would always come back negative and Mrs. Urquhart said it would make her hypochondriac.

Since her twenties diagnosis, Urquhart has undergone two surgeries to remove some endometriosis tissue. It is unclear how much she still has.

She added: & # 39; But because it took so long, they discovered that the endometriosis had spread to my intestines, uterus, ovaries and throughout my pelvic wall. & # 39;

Mrs. Urquhart also claims that she had blood-filled cysts in her ovaries that would work at least once a month, which felt like someone & # 39; sour & # 39; poured over her organs.
