At What Age Does The Menopause Start And What Are The Symptoms?

Hi,
The correct age of menopause is between 45 to 50.
The symptoms of menopause are:
The majority of women will observe some symptoms during menopause, but the intensity of these varies in different women.
Irregular bleeding – Menstrual periods have three normal patterns of stopping: they may suddenly stop, they may come on time, but keep reducing in the quantity of flow till they finally stop or they may keep getting delayed till they finally stop. Heavy or frequent periods are NOT normal.
Hot flushes – This is the most prominent symptom. There is a sudden sensation of heat that spreads to various parts of the body, particularly the face. Flushing and sweating may occur. These flashes of warmth last a few seconds or minutes. These are more common in the first few years after menopause but may continue for many more years. If they occur very frequently, they can be the cause of social embarrassment. These flashes may be brought on in hot and humid weather, by drinking caffeine or alcohol or eating spicy foods.
Vaginal thinning and dryness – Due to oestrogen withdrawal, the vagina becomes thinner and dry. This makes sexual intercourse painful. There may be associated itching and irritation. Regular sexual intercourse may help keep the vagina moist and toned.
Mood changes – Women become irritable and anxious around menopause. There may be loss of memory and concentration and lack of energy. Depression may also be present.
Sexuality – Several factors adversely effect the libido or sex drive. Besides the mechanical factor of vaginal dryness that makes intercourse painful, mood fluctuations and lack of energy all contribute to a poor sex drive.
Osteoporosis – Bones become thin, weak and are more likely to break.
Heart disease – Women lose the protective effect of oestrogen in preventing heart disease after menopause. They then become susceptible to heart attack as much as men.
