Answers:

Hello, Missing one period is not a sign that you are in the menopause, but given your age it probably is the start. There are many different signs and every woman experiences them differently. Hot flushes,that means going red in the face and sudden sweats are just a couple of things a woman going through the menopause has to deal with. The pain in the lower back should possibly be discussed with your doctor. Also if you do find things hard to cope with do go and ask for help as some women have a real difficult time adjusting to their body changing. All the best



You”ll find that having sex is more difficult because of vaginal dryness.

You will find it difficult to sleep. Sometimes you’ll have a hard time falling asleep or waking up too early.
Hot flashes will appear as a sudden rush of heat and that can last for up to a few minutes or less.

You will find that you are more prone to infections because of the vaginal walls thinning and the genital area becomes drier, which is why sexual intercourse becomes more painful.



definitely in menopause, you will have hot flashes soon more than likely
the lower back and hip pain is probably something else though.
