While thinking about the symptoms of menopause
it is important for you to know and understand that these symptoms differ from women to women. Certain factors like difference in diet and nutrition
general health and health care
etc all affect the way women experience menopause.

The general physical symptoms of most women approaching or experiencing menopause include:

Longer menstrual periods

For a woman who usually has short menstrual periods of
say
4
days
this can increase to more days. When this occurs
it could be one of the symptoms that she is approaching her menopause. When you notice that this is happening to you and you are approaching your late 40s
there is nothing to worry about. Simply know that this is a symptom of menopause.

Heavier menstrual flows

Some women also notice that their menstrual flows are now heavier than usual. If this happens to you and you are sure that nothing else is wrong with you physically
then know that you could be approaching your menopause
especially if the age is right. If the age is not right
then you are not approaching menopause.

Spotting

Spotting is the situation whereby little drops of blood comes out during the time when you are supposed to be menstruating. When this occurs
it could be a sign of menopause. First
check whether you could be pregnant or not. If not
and if it continues
then it could be a sign of menopause.

Menstrual periods irregularity

There is also the tendency that you will experience general menstrual periods irregularity when you are approaching menopause. When this happens and you know nothing is wrong with you health wise
then it is a symptom of menopause.

Lack of interest in sex

Lack of interest in sex for most women in menopause occurs partly because there is now less fun when having sex. This is because as menopause happens
the estrogen levels decline
thereby making the vaginal walls less elastic and thinner. This eventually leads to pain or discomfort during sex. To solve this problem
there is the need for sufficient vaginal lubrication for women who are experiencing menopause and still want to enjoy sex with their partners.
