\"Aging\u201cFor those who understand; no explanation is necessary. For those who do not; no explanation will suffice.\u201dWhen the ovaries stop producing estrogen, and periods cease for one year; this is the time of life called\u00a0menopause<\/a>. It is a natural process, however complex. When estrogen levels are low,\u00a0menopausal<\/a>\u00a0symptoms begin to occur.<\/p>\n

What are the symptoms?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some women may experience none; while others may run the gamut from hot flashes to mood swings to\u00a0night sweats<\/a>. Other symptoms may include\u00a0irregular periods<\/a>, and vaginal or urinary tract\u00a0infections<\/a>. It is estimated that about 75% of women report some troublesome symptoms during menopause, but the severity and frequency of symptoms actually varies from woman to woman. Let\u2019s discuss some of these symptoms in depth.<\/p>\n

Irregular bleeding<\/strong>\u00a0can occur up to menopause. In some cases, periods may be of a short duration, or last longer than usual. In addition, the bleeding may vary from light to heavy. The time between periods may also fluctuate.<\/p>\n

Hot flashes<\/strong>\u00a0are symptomatic of\u00a0menopause<\/a>. What is a\u00a0hot flash<\/a>? It is a sudden feeling of intense heat which encompasses your entire body. For example: your face feels very red; you begin to sweat, and sometimes experience\u00a0anxiety<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0irritability<\/a>. It is uncomfortable at best; but once you understand the cause, you can deal with it.\u00a0Hot flashes<\/a>\u00a0can last from seconds to minutes. However, it must be said that it does feel quite longer. Again, it varies from woman to woman.<\/p>\n

While studies suggest\u00a0hot flashes<\/a>\u00a0occur in the first two years after\u00a0menopause<\/a>\u00a0and gradually lessen, there is also documentation that some women have\u00a0hot flashes<\/a>\u00a0for several years after menopause; up to 40 years or longer. This is evidenced by another case in which a woman is still having hot flashes at the age of 80. Disheartening, but true! In addition, hot flashes that occur during the night can disrupt sleep.<\/p>\n

In fact, some women report that their bed sheets become soaked with sweat when they have a\u00a0hot flash<\/a>\u00a0during the night.
\nVaginal dryness<\/a>\u00a0can also occur, as may\u00a0itching<\/a>\u00a0or irritation. Although few women experience serious problems with\u00a0vaginal dryness<\/a>\u00a0and thinning right after\u00a0menopause<\/a>, both dryness and thinning continue to occur over time. Some doctors estimate that at least half of all women older than 60 years have some degree of\u00a0vaginal dryness<\/a>. Regular sexual intercourse can help to keep the vagina moist and toned.<\/p>\n

Mood swings<\/strong>\u00a0occur frequently in\u00a0menopausal<\/a>\u00a0women. In fact, these symptoms mimic PMS.<\/p>\n
