subject: Female Menopause Symptoms Timing and Remedies [print this page] I suppose no one ever said being a woman was easy. And, as if the onset of a monthly period wasn't bad enough, the misery doesn't end there. Most women have been told that they will eventually experience female menopause symptoms. The uncertainty lies in the fact that there is no set time frame for knowing when the symptoms will begin. The two most common menopause symptoms are night sweats and menopause hot flashes.
Interestingly enough, some people think that there is a similar thing that happens with male menopause. However, according to Web MD, "Men do experience a decline in the production of the male hormone testosterone with aging, but this also occurs with some disease states such as diabetes." So men are trying to get a little male menopause sympathy just because they have low testosterone? I'm not sure that even comes close to what women experience.
The first symptom of female menopause is that monthly periods end. Unfortunately, pre menopause symptoms may include flow increasing, or decreasing to the point of being almost non-existent. Some women going into pre menopause experience more cramping, and then again, some experience less. This all happens between the ages of 35 and 60. And even if you have had a hysterectomy you may still experience some symptoms of menopause, but you are actually less likely to have many female menopause symptoms.
Female menopause symptoms can start during pre menopause, and continue through the menopause cycle. Most women enter into menopause between the ages of 50 and 51. And, actually, the female menopause symptoms of menopause hot flashes and night sweats can occur throughout the menopause cycle. Then, after your periods cease to exist for 12 consecutive months, you can be sure that you have completed the cycle and will no longer experience menopause hot flashes and night sweats.
This final period of time is called post menopause. At this point, your female menopause symptoms should be completely gone! No more menopause night sweats no more hot flashes. Now it's time to go on vacation and have some fun!
