What are the signs of menopause in women?

Before menopause, women's bodies will naturally adjust their physiological functions and show a series of symptoms, generally including changes in menstrual cycles, hot flashes and night sweats, and mood swings.

1. Changes in menstrual cycle: Before menopause, women’s menstruation may become irregular, with the cycle shortening or lengthening. The amount of menstruation may also change, increasing or decreasing, and sometimes even causing bleeding between periods.

2. Hot flashes and night sweats: This is caused by fluctuations in hormone levels, especially a drop in estrogen levels. Hot flashes usually start from the chest and quickly spread to the head and upper limbs, accompanied by facial flushing and sweating, and can last from a few seconds to a few minutes.

3. Mood swings: Many women experience mood swings, anxiety, or depression during the premenopausal period. These mood changes may be closely related to changes in hormone levels.

The signs of premenopause may be different for each woman, and the time and degree of their appearance may also vary. If a woman experiences the above symptoms, it is recommended that she maintain a positive attitude, eat a healthy diet, exercise moderately, and consult a professional for personalized health guidance and treatment advice when necessary. At the same time, regular gynecological examinations are also an important measure to ensure women's health.
