Can Menopause Trigger Cholesterol Levels In Blood?
Hello. I am 46 years old and have begun to notice a change in my cycle. I normally have it for 4 days start to finish. Late last winter/early spring after the 4 days I have spotting for 3 days afterwards. My cholesterol went up from 199 to 269 in one year, with no changes to my diet. Even though I am not experiencing any of the other listed symptoms, could I be in the beginning stages of menopause?
