There is no definite starting point when it comes to menopause but most commonly, women on their late 40's onwards are developing symptoms of menopause, if not menopause already. It is quite easy to notice the physical changes such as vaginal dryness, loss of skin elasticity, inability to sleep, slight drooping of the breasts, irregularity of the menses, sudden weight gain, common episodes of hot flashes and frequent night sweating. The length that menopause will last for is generally no longer than five or six years. During this time some women may experience irregular or heavy periods with shorter gaps in between them, whereas for others their periods may just stop altogether with no warning. Most women wont do anything at all with their menopause symptoms, but there are many things you can naturally do without expensive medical surgeries or supplements to ease your menopause. One of the most common menopause symptoms almost all women will experience is Hot flashes. Hot flashes, a common symptom of menopause, are typically experienced as a feeling of intense heat with sweating and rapid heartbeat, and may typically last from two to thirty minutes for each occurrence. Herbs became popular in dealing with hot flashes and Black Cohosh is the most popular one aside from Chaste Berry. Both are known to alleviate hot flashes, decrease night sweats, and even reduce mood swings aside its nutritional values. Another common symptom of menopause is sudden weight gain with women. During menopause your body gains weight because of the changes the way it stores fat. Instead of storing fat around the hips and thighs, our bodies begin to store fat around the waist area. The solution to this one is very simple, just eat less fatty foods and more nutritional one like vegetables and fruits. Aside from reducing the calorie intake, any diet wont be effective without regular daily exercise. Trouble in sleeping is another common menopause symptom. The problem of night sweats is certainly a factor in causing sleep disturbances during menopause. But, even if it is not a symptom, lack of sustained sleep is itself a prevalent pattern in women between the ages of 45-55. Numerous studies indicate that hormone levels do affect sleep. Bioflavonoids, Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) PABA and Vitamin E all work remarkably well in alleviating sleeplessness due to night sweats. Exercise is known to wear out your body but it is also a great stress reliever. Getting a full body workout in the day can help you get a good night sleep aside from getting in shape. These are just some of the most common menopause symptoms that you will encounter during menopause. Keep in mind that some remedies will work for others while wont be effective or not work at all for some.
