Symptoms of menopause

2. Night Sweats:

Night sweats are closely related to hot flashes, they typically appear in the evening and are more intense. Night sweats, also called “nocturnal hyperhydrosis”, isn’t in fact a sleep disorder, but it is a frequent perspiration disorder that appears while sleeping.

3. Irregular Periods, Menstrual Irregularities

The majority of women observe absence, shortness, or irregularity of periods at some point in their lives. A large numbers of conditions can be a source of such symptoms. The most common cause is hormone imbalance. A person’s periods may occur more often, every 24 days instead of every 28, or they may appear later than they previously used to. A person may experience a light period that lasts only a few days, then the next month have very heavy bleeding. A period may last a shorter, or continue for what feels like an eternity. It is possible to skip a month, next go back to normal for a few months, and then skip two periods in a row.

Menstrual irregularity is usually appears in the midforties when a person approaches menopause. Absence of hormonal balance or a lower Estrogen production is the main reason for it. Medical causes for irregular periods exist as well, but they aren’t as common though.
