Overview
The most common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, headach, palpitations, dyspareunia, stress incontinence, urgency, frequency, dysuria, anxiety, sleep disturbance, depression. In addition to some less common symptoms of menopause include loss of concentration, and loss of self confidence.
Symptoms of perimenopause
The perimenopausal symptoms are caused by an overall drop in the levels of estrogens, progestin. Some of these symptoms may be associated with the hormonal withdrawal process and as the body adapts to the changing levels of natural hormones, the menopausal symptoms appear. Most of the symptoms happen in the menopausal transition period, together with these symptoms, the woman may also have increasingly erratic menstrual periods.
Vasomotor symptoms: Approximately, 75% of women have a positive history of vasomotor symptoms
- Hot flashes are a sudden feeling of heat in face and neck may with red blotches on the chest, back, and arm[1] that are happened three to four minutes,[2] associated with sweating. Hot flashes are the most common symptom and most women have hot flashes for 6 months to 2 years, but some women may experience them for 10 years or longer.[3]
