Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the end of a woman's menstrual cycles. Common signs include hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and irregular periods. Some women may also experience vaginal dryness and sleep disturbances. If these symptoms become severe or affect your daily life, it’s important to consult your GP. They can provide support and discuss options such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which can alleviate symptoms. Don't hesitate to reach out, as managing menopause is essential for your overall well-being.
