Is it possible to experience menopause in your 20s?

Patient's question:

Hello, doctor, I am 26 years old. My period arrived on April 15th, and it has not come yet as of today, May 25th. I thought it might be pregnancy, so I took a pregnancy test, but it was negative. I have had insomnia for two nights, and I am very scared. I am really scared. Suddenly, images of 50-year-old women without a period appeared in my mind, and I am afraid that I might be like them. I am very scared. Doctor, can you help me? Is it possible to go through menopause in my 20s?

Doctor's answer:

Considering the possibility of pregnancy if your period is delayed by a week, early pregnancy test strips are not 100% accurate. Additionally, mood and environmental factors can also cause the menstrual cycle to advance or delay. It is recommended to have a check-up at the hospital.
