Menopause happens when your menstrual period stops and you can no longer become pregnant.

At this time there is a change in the production of hormones such as estrogen. These are natural bodily changes in a female that can occur when you’re as young as 35, but typically begin in your late 40’s.

 Symptoms and Testing There are many symptoms to look for that may indicate your body is going through menopause. These signs can include hot flashes, rapid mood swings, decreased sex drive, urinary fluctuations, vaginal dryness, excessive bone loss and the increased risk of heart disease. There are a number of blood tests that your doctor will want to see to help determine if you are going through menopause.
