Menopause Symptoms

When a woman suspects she’s in perimenopause, it is an excellent time to have a complete medical examination by a qualified healthcare professional. The diagnosis of perimenopause can usually be made by reviewing a woman’s medical history, her menstrual history, and her signs and symptoms.



The most common symptoms women in their 40s notice are changes in periods and the onset of hot flashes. Menopause is defined as 12 months without a menstrual bleed, in the absence of other conditions. To date, there is no simple test to predict or confirm menopause or perimenopause, but research continues. Check your menstrual calendar and seek our team for support and with your questions. 

Other menopause symptoms include:

• Mood changes
• Urinary incontinence
• Night sweats
• Trouble falling asleep
• Sexual discomfort
