What Are The Symptoms Of Menopause?
Hi. I am almost 53 and had a procedure about two years ago for heavy extremely heavy periods. So, I no longer get a period. I don t know when I will know if I am going through menopause. My mom rarely had hot flashes. I have had some here and there .... I think? It s not like I was drenching in sweat but I don t sleep well and have mood swings and my brain just won t shut off. So how am I going to know I am going through it?

Hi. Thank you for the question.
Symptoms of menopause are seen because of low levels of estrogen in the body. This usually presents with these symptoms.
- Fatigue
- Vaginal dryness
- Night sweats
- hot flashes
- Loss of hair
Usually, one would need a hormone check up to decide if the hormone levels or the estrogen level correspond to menopause. Seeing a Gynecologist for this would be useful.
I hope this helps.
