The Signs and Symptoms Of Perimenopause
The signs and symptoms of perimenopause can occur 10 to 15 years before actual menopause occurs, which is the final cessation of your menstrual cycle. Perimenopause actually is the time you have the notable symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes, and when a woman might say "I'm menopausal."). Once that has ended, you are considered postmenopausal. Most clinicians will say a woman is postmenopausal once she hasn't had a period for a year.

Early Menopause Treatments
Every year thousands of women between the ages of 15 and 44 experience an "Estrogen Crash", a sudden drop in estrogen levels that leaves women in the clutches of early menopause. Although menopause is traditionally seen as a problem in older women, the many younger women who experience early menopause find themselves unprepared for the unexpected changes that occur.

Self Testing For Menopause
Discover the facts about a home-use test kit to measure Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) in your urine. This may help indicate if you are in menopause or perimenopause.

Is There Sex After Menopause?
Does menopause mean that sex is no longer an important or desired part of life? No! In fact, sex after menopause is often as enjoyable, and sometimes even more enjoyable, than before menopause. You no longer face any threat of an unplanned pregnancy, and in many cases your children are mostly grown, giving you and your spouse more alone time.
