How do you know if you are in Menopause?

Menopause happens when you haven't had a period for 12 straight months and you aren't pregnant or sick. It's a normal part of aging.

It happens because female sex hormone levels naturally go down as you get older. Your ovaries eventually stop releasing eggs, so you'll no longer have periods or be able to get pregnant as described by Dr Rama Sofat.

You may start to notice changes months or years before you are in menopause. You may have hot flashes and irregular periods. This time is called perimenopause.

You won't know exactly when your menopause will hit. All you can do is pay attention to how you're feeling and notice changes. Keep in mind that symptoms vary greatly from woman to woman. Some women have no symptoms at all.

Changes You May Notice

You have hot flashes and night sweats

Hot flashes can make you feel warm or hot suddenly for no apparent reason. Your skin may flush red and your heart may beat faster.

You have trouble sleeping

Waking up during the night or having trouble going to sleep can happen for lots of reasons, but if you don't typically have problems sleeping, it may be a sign you're approaching menopause.

You feel moody

Lots of things can affect your mood, and that includes the change in hormone that happens around menopause. If you've had anxiety or depression in the past.
