Great question!
Aging is the chief cause of menopause. Natural menopause is preceded by a period of transition known as perimenopause. This can begin as early as a woman’s early 30s or – in rare cases – as late as a woman’s late 60s. Perimenopause may end in the course of several months, or may unfold over many years. As women enter menopause, they may begin to experience several symptoms typically associated with the changes that are taking place in their bodies. These symptoms include:
Mood swings (e.g., anxiety and depression)
Weight gain
Hot flashes and night sweats
Changes in vaginal tissue (e.g. dryness, itching)
Breast tenderness
Increase in facial hair
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Less bladder control when coughing, sneezing, or laughing
Loss of sex drive
Memory or concentration problems
Sudden fatigue
Trouble sleeping (insomnia)
