Menopause can bring about a crash in self-confidence, unpredictable (and heavy) periods that last for weeks and much more.
Menopause is the stage of life where women's hormones decide to throw a surprise party that no-one asked for — complete with hot flashes as unruly guests and mood swings as the DJ playing too many sad songs.
"The time leading into this is called the perimenopause. This is a time when women are still menstruating but may be experiencing symptoms of menopause transition.) Hot flushes were a minor symptom for some women, who were much more plagued by symptoms they kept secret: a crash in self-confidence, unpredictable very heavy periods going for weeks, unexpected weeing, and sex being "as painful as razor blades"."A lot of women will experience vaginal symptoms. Quite often those symptoms will be dryness, but it can be irritability, itchiness. And that obviously is going to lessen your desire to have sex," Dr Vavrek says.
"And a lot of the time women feel like, 'Oh well, it'll be over soon.' But it just keeps going on and on.
