Menopause

Menopause is a natural part of aging. Menopause affects each woman differently. Some of the more common symptoms women experience include:

• Sagging skin, weight gain, bloating
• Sleepless nights, night sweats, depression
• Fragile bones, joint pain
• Hot flashes, tension, mood changes
• Migraine/severe headaches, fatigue
• Mental confusion, memory loss
• A dry vagina, breast tenderness
• Irritability and loss of sex drive
• Increasing anxiety

Menopause is the permanent end of menstruation and fertility and is a natural biological process, not a medical illness.  It is a phase in life where the body begins to change, which can put you at risk for certain illnesses.
