Learning The Signs Of Menopause

by Susan Finnish

We ladies have it tough, in some ways. It seems like we get all of the awful physical issues that men have been fortunate enough to escape. We go through periods, childbirth and menopause, just to name a few things. It's all part of being a woman, so most of us wear these events like badges of courage. You may start seeing the signs of menopause before you were planning on it. Make sure you know what it looks like before it jumps on your back.

Most of us, when we were younger, thought that menopause was something that old ladies had to deal with. When you're a teenaged young lady, you can't imagine that something as horrific as menopause will ever happen to you. You look at your tight skin, unmarked skin and think you'll never get old.

When your monthly cycle starts wandering off course and continues to do so for some time, the best thing to do is start marking it on a calendar. If you see that your period isn't coming regularly or that some months, it doesn't show up at all, it may be time to talk to your gynecologist.

Many women notice a large decrease in their desire for sexual intercourse while others have reported a surge in their desire. The change in hormones accounts for this phenomenon. Many women also notice that their skin begins to change.

Your skin may change and you may suddenly start getting acne or zits again, even if you haven't had them in ages. You may witness the opposite effect, as well. If you've usually got issues with your skin, you may witness a clearing up of your face. This is usually a pretty welcome symptom, until your skin starts drying out. Then, it becomes an issue.

Other signs of menopause are changes in mood, behavior, thoughts, skin, hair and nails. If you are concerned about your condition, contact your physician.
