The Most Common Signs & Symptoms Of Menopause
The decline in hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone are key to our common symptoms. Symptoms such as hot flushes, changes in mood are most referred to, but there are some which you may not expect.
Hot Flushes: Hot flushes (known as hot flashes in the US), are often related to hormone changes that make it harder for your brain to regulate your body temperature and are caused for the most part because your body stops making oestrogen, which regulates your body temperature.
Night Sweats: Hot flashes that happen at night. They are caused for the most part because your body stops making oestrogen, which regulates your body temperature.

Skin & Hair changes: Oestrogen (estrogen in the US) contributes to hair growth and fullness. As oestrogen levels drop during menopause, hair may become thinner and more prone to breakage. This change can manifest as decreased hair density and more hair in the "shedding" phase.

Mood Swings: Levels of hormones such as oestrogen and progesterone in our bodies begin to decrease. Oestrogen, in particular, is related to the production of serotonin, a that helps regulate mood. Fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone levels, along with other factors, can disrupt serotonin production, leading to mood swings.

Sleep issues: Our quality of sleep can often be impacted during the menopause. This is caused by symptoms such as night sweats and often causes difficulty falling asleep, staying asleep, and may lead to early morning awakening and waking up feeling drained with a lack of energy during the day.

Bloating: Bloating can be a symptom of menopause due to several factors related to hormonal changes and ageing. Our digestion slows down in the menopause, and it takes longer to digest our food. This leads to the food starting to ferment, which leads to bloating and the odd breaking of wind!
