What Are The Common Menopause Symptoms?
Have trouble sleeping? Experiencing a loss of libido? Feeling lost is this big, bad world and fearing death? Are your periods lighter? Get tired sooner? Menopause is a very normal phase of a person’s life. This is the period when your body goes through a lot of hormonal changes and therefore you experience some discomfort. The severity of menopause symptoms differ from person to person and depends on factors such as the person’s lifestyle, medical condition, the health of her social relations, mindset, diet and so on… But, what are these menopause symptoms?
Well, everyone goes through a different combination of the menopause symptoms and there are about 34 of them. But, the most common ones are as follows: Hot Flushes/Flashes and Increased Sweating This is usually the first of menopause symptoms. To signal that you are approaching your menopause, your body may start sweating more than it used to as flushes of heat sweep the body. The number of such heat flushes increases as you move closer to your menopause and then gradually decreases.
Depression Bouts of depression are perhaps the most common menopause symptoms. Lethargy, Tiredness and Aching Joints The hormonal changes in your body take a physical toll on you as well and you may find yourself complaining of aching joints or lack of energy at the slightest hint of physical activity. Lethargy is also very common among people going through menopause. Lack of Sexual Drive The dryness felt in the vaginal area can make sex painful and less desirable for women during this period. The other menopause symptoms include sudden weight gain, difficulty in losing weight, irritability, incontinence, osteoporosis, sudden memory lapses and so on. Though menopause can be a very unpleasant phase of a woman’s life, certain symptoms can be removed and it can be made less of a nightmare by consulting a good doctor and following her advice.
