First Symptoms Of Menopause

How do you know if you are having the first symptoms of menopause? Do you need to worry about all the changes you hear about?

menopause is just the next part of life. We go through puberty, then we have periods for centuries it seems, then we start menopause. This is a new phase that every woman goes through, and learning about it helps tremendously. 

With all this in mind, it can still be a bit disconcerting when these symptoms start showing up. If you are prepared, you will be less likely to panic, especially when they appear sooner than you expected. There are some women who show their first symptoms of menopause in their thirties.

Hormones seem to rule our life as a woman, and menopause is no exception. The changes in our hormones are the reason these first symptoms begin. I will list a few of these symptoms below which will give you something to watch for, and…look forward to. 

1. Interruption in menstrual cycle – your cycle will change from the typical 28 days as well as the flow. It can become heavier or lighter, and the timing are typically farther apart. There are also chances of fibroid tumors developing along the uterine wall, so it is important to visit your doctor when these changes begin.

2. Hot flashes – this is a very typical symptom and you never know when these nasty hot flashes will hit you. You can be in a snowstorm and have a hot flash, wanting to rip off every layer of clothing…but it would be best to wait till you are home to do that. The worst time is when you are in a meeting or a setting where everyone can see you, then the hot flash hits, your face turns red, beads of sweat appear and you feel like you are going to die. 

3. Insomnia – this seems to go with the hot flashes, you can’t sleep and you are so hot that you can’t get comfortable. These changes are not fun in the least. 

4. Mood swings – this is something that is troubling to say the least, and when you add the hot flashes and insomnia to it, well….need I say more? 

If you are having any of these first symptoms of menopause, contact your doctor, let him or her know what’s going on and they can prescribe some hormone therapy to help you get through this. It makes it easier when you know there is someone who understands and can help you through it.
