For the vast majority of women, the mid-40s mark the beginning of a whole new and - to be honest - slightly turbulent phase of life: Menopause!

During this phase of life, the female body undergoes major hormonal changes. And it can affect you both physically and emotionally.

Not sure if you're in menopause? Or close to it? We've compiled 13 of the most common signs.

Take a look at the list and see if you notice any of them.

1. Irregular Menstruation

One of the first signs of menopause is often a change in your period. Some women find that their periods become heavier. For others, periods become less frequent or irregular.

2. Hot Flushes

Hot flushes are the most common of all menopause symptoms. They are an intense feeling of heat, especially on the face and upper body, that happens suddenly. Some people sweat at the same time.

3. Mood Swings

Maybe you feel irritable or sad more often? Hormonal changes can affect your emotions, which is why mood swings often accompany menopause.

4. Hair Loss

Some women find that the hair on their head becomes thinner or falls out more easily. This is due to changes in hormone balance, which can affect your hair growth.

5. Night Sweats

Do you wake up drenched in sweat? It could be a sign of menopause. When the body reduces its oestrogen production, we become more sensitive to temperature fluctuations. This is why most women experience hot flushes during menopause, especially at night.

6. Vaginal Dryness

Oestrogen keeps the vagina moist and supple. However, when oestrogen production decreases, the vaginal lining becomes thinner and drier, which can lead to discomfort and itching. For some, it can also make sexual intercourse an unpleasant experience.

7. Trouble Sleeping

Difficulty falling asleep? It's not uncommon during menopause. Some women also suffer from nocturnal awakenings or wake up earlier than usual.

8. Weight Gain

Some women gain weight, especially around the stomach. This is due to changes in hormone balance. Healthy eating habits and exercise are the solution.

9. Brain Fog

Maybe you find it hard to concentrate, forget things or can't find the right words? When oestrogen levels drop, the brain can struggle to generate enough energy to focus.

10. Change in Sex Drive

During menopause, interest in sex can change. For most people, the desire for sex decreases. But for some women, the opposite actually happens: they feel more desire!

11. Sore Joints

Some people get sore muscles and joints. Especially in the fingers and wrists. Oestrogen protects joints from inflammation, so when oestrogen levels drop, the joints no longer have the same protection.

12. Heart Palpitations

The heart rhythm may change and the heartbeat may become more noticeable. These are also common signs of menopause.

13. Fatigue

Hormonal changes can affect energy levels and some women struggle with fatigue and low energy. If you're also experiencing sleep disturbances, it's no wonder your batteries can feel drained.

Seek Support When You Need It

It's important to remember that menopause is a natural phase in every woman's life and that you are not alone on this journey.
