Menopause Symptoms

The onset of change of life may in some women be signalled by the symptoms listed below. In others, the symptoms, apart from the cessation of the menstrual cycle, may not be noticeable.

  • Hot flushes
  • Night sweats
  • Increased nervousness, anxiety or irritability
  • Depression
  • Increased need to urinate
  • Nausea, constipation, diarrhoea, cold hands and feet
  • Weight gain
  • ‘Menopausal arthritis’
  • Palpitations
  • Headaches
  • Painful intercourse (due to changes to the vaginal wall and vaginal dryness)
  • Loss of sexual drive/libido
  • Fatigue.
The changes in biochemistry after menopause also lead to an increased risk of developing Menopausal arthritis and heart disease.

Menopause is not the end of womanhood or sexuality. For some, the opposite is true. Menopause is only the end of the reproductive cycle; it is not a sign of old age. This change has nothing to do with greying of the hair or a loss of sexual desire; post-menopausal women can live a very enjoyable and active life in all respects.
