What are the symptoms of menopause in women?

When women reach a certain age, they will face the arrival of menopause. Some women who don’t know much about menopause often turn pale when talking about it, because from other people’s behaviors or descriptions, they feel that the symptoms will be very serious when they come, so they are a little afraid of the coming of menopause. So, when does a woman enter menopause? What are the symptoms after entering menopause?

Most women enter menopause at the age of 45-55, when ovulation and menstruation stop and they lose their reproductive ability. This is mainly because the ovarian function declines and even disappears.

The symptoms of menopause, before menopause, are mainly menstrual changes:

Changes in menstrual rhythm: The cycle is prolonged, the intervals between menstruation are extended, or there is no menstrual period for two or three months, but it returns to its natural pattern after a few months. This alternation of amenorrhea and regular menstruation can last for one or two years. Some women have shorter periods and too many periods during a period of time.

Changes in the appearance of menstrual blood: The color of the blood becomes lighter, pink, or even black, mixed with small blood clots and fiber fragments. The amount of menstrual blood also changes. For some women, the amount of menstrual blood gradually decreases, but there is no increased or heavy bleeding. The length of the menstrual period also varies. Some women gradually get shorter, while for other women, the menstrual period is prolonged and can last up to 10 days.

After menopause, about 10-20% of women will experience some symptoms, mainly:

The face becomes flushed and hot, starting from the lower part and spreading upward to the entire face. There is often significant vascular dilation, redness, and sweating all over the face. At the same time, dizziness and vertigo may occur, and the degree of flushing varies. Sometimes it is limited to the face and neck, but it may also be frequent and severe.

Autonomic nervous system disorders, numbness of the limbs, abnormal sensations and cramps in the extremities especially at night, heaviness in the lower limbs, as if the legs don't know where to put, pain in the lower abdomen, palpitations, pain in the precordial area, headaches, dizziness, insomnia and syncope; often irritable, emotionally unstable, prone to temper, and sometimes suspicious and depressed.

Everyone has a different physique, and the symptoms of menopause will also be different. Some people will have more serious symptoms, and even need to see a doctor for conditioning; while some people's symptoms are very mild, and it seems that they don't feel anything other than menopause, and they will go through menopause safely. Of course, if a woman is in menopause, her family should show more care and tolerance so that she can go through menopause smoothly.
