Other common signs of menopause include rapidly beating heart along with mood swings accompanied by shedding of tears for no plausible reason. In addition, there can also be some amount of problems experienced with getting adequate sleep at night and these sleeping problems can be accompanied with night sweats or without it.

Periods can become irregular, some months they will be heavier than other months, the duration of periods will vary, even to the point where they could last for weeks. There are even phantom periods, where you have all of the pain, but no bleeding.

Incontinence can also be a symptom of menopause. This in itself can be distressing for the sufferer, causing fear when socializing or just going on a shopping trip. Your libido may suffer, along with a dry vagina, concentration, disorientation,feelings of fuzziness and forgetfulness can also be worrying to the sufferer. Is it any wonder that menopausal women become emotional at times.

Some symptoms can be the cause of embarrassment for the sufferer. Loss of hair, excessive facial hair, body-odour, itchy skin, joint pains, muscle pains, tendon pains, weakened or cracking fingernails, are all for some women part of the menopausal process.

A visit to your doctor is essential when you notice that you are getting pre-menopausal symptoms. Remember all women go through menopause, usually when they are in their middle ages, you are not alone and there are treatments available.

Women, when they reach their 40’s are definite candidates for menopause. When you notice that you are suffering from some of these symptoms you should consult your GP. Take your partner with you, he needs to hear from someone else what you are going through. A lot of husbands are not callous when it comes to menopause, they just don’t understand what you are going through.
