When do menopause symptoms start and how long do they last?
Symptoms associated with the transition into menopause become noticeable in your mid-40s. This is typical, but some women start to experience symptoms in their 30s, while other women start noticing them in their 50s.
The menopausal transition lasts, on average, for 7 years, but can last up to 14 years. Some women experience only one or two symptoms, while other women experience many. Not all symptoms happen at the same time, and not all symptoms will last for the entire time.
What are the TOP 6 symptoms of menopause you may ask? They are listed below
1. Irregular periods - every woman will experience these as their bodies shift from the reproductive years (with regular periods) into menopause (with no periods).
2. Hot flashes and night sweats - 75% of women will experience hot flashes, usually for less than 2 years. Hot flashes feel like a strong wave of heat travelling through the upper body and face. When hot flashes happen at night while you are sleeping, they are called night sweats.
3. Insomnia and sleep difficulties - Up to 60% of women experience difficulty sleeping during the menopausal transition, including trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, and having a poor quality of sleep. Sleep problems often result from other menopausal transition symptoms, especially night sweats.
4. Vaginal dryness - Up to 35% of women will experience vaginal dryness. This can be painful, especially during intercourse, but there are solutions.
5. Bladder issues - Over 50% of women will experience problems with their bladders starting in the menopausal transition. Leaking urine (when you exercise or sneeze) and urinary urgency (when you can’t hold your pee) are the most frequent urinary issues.
6. Mood changes and mood swings - About 50% of women in the menopausal transition will experience sudden, random mood swings. You may find yourself bouncing between feeling wonderful, tearful, angry, sad, or irritable, all because of changing hormone levels.
