What is Menopause: Menopause is defined as the absence of period for 12 months and marks the end of the menstrual cycle in a woman.
Age: Usually occurs in your 40s or 50s. Before the age of 40, it is known as premature menopause.
What will happened: During the transition years before menopause occurs, which is also known as peri-menopausal phase; there is wide fluctuation of oestrogen levels which causes many symptoms in women.
Symptoms that many women often experience would include:
Physical symptoms:
Hot flashes
Night sweats
Vaginal dryness
Lack of energy
Weight gain
Dry, itchy skin
Joint and muscle pain
Low sexual desire
Psychological symptoms:
Trouble sleeping

Any vaginal bleeding, even spotting, after menopause, which is known as post menopausal bleeding, has to be investigated by a doctor as sinister causes such as endometrial cancer have to be excluded.
