It’s going to happen, there is no stopping it. I’m talking about menopause. Ladies, menopause is going to happen, we can’t keep it at bay forever. No matter how young or old you are, you should know what the signs of menopause are so when you start having them, you’ll know what is going on with your body.

Most of us, when we were younger, thought that menopause was something that old ladies had to deal with. When you’re a teenaged young lady, you can’t imagine that something as horrific as menopause will ever happen to you. You look at your tight skin, unmarked skin and think you’ll never get old.

I definitely never would have thought that at 37, I’d be facing menopause. However, we have no control over what happens in our lives and with our bodies. The first sign of menopause is a change in the schedule of your period. Your monthly cycle will begin to swing from time to time. You may not have a period at all, some months. This, of course, depending on where you are in your map of life, may scare you and have you running for the EPT test.

Many women notice a large decrease in their desire for sexual intercourse while others have reported a surge in their desire. The change in hormones accounts for this phenomenon. Many women also notice that their skin begins to change.

Another sure sign of menopause approaching is hot flashes. You can be sitting, doing nothing at all in a completely cool environment and it will hit you like a ton of bricks. You will begin sweating uncontrollably and there is no rhyme or reason to where and when these attacks occur. However, it seems that they are more typical in the evening and over night.

Women have been witnessing the signs of menopause for a very long time. If you’re wondering what is going on with your body, talk to your doctor about your symptoms today.
