Trouble sleeping
Postmenopausal women develop sleep apnea at a rate that is 2 to 3 times higher than premenopausal women, which can cause daytime sleepiness and other more serious complications.
Difficulty getting pregnant
Hormonal changes cause a decrease in fertility — the ability to become pregnant. Fertility starts to decline when a woman is in her 30s and continues up until menopause, when it’s no longer possible to become pregnant.
Hair and skin changes
Changes in hair may include hair loss, hair thinning, dryer hair, and hair texture changes that make hair more coarse and brittle. Age spots are more likely to appear and there’s an increased risk of skin cancer.
Vaginal and urinary problems
Vaginal dryness is a common symptom of perimenopause and can cause itchiness, burning sensations, and painful sex. You may also have irregular periods, which may include heavy bleeding or missed periods.
Pain and changes in the body
Perimenopause may cause joint pain and stiffness in the knees, back, neck, jaw, and fingers, among other areas of the body. Headaches, including migraine headaches, can also occur due to hormonal fluctuations.
Cognitive problems and mood changes
Many complain about brain fog during perimenopause, which causes memory problems and difficulty concentrating. Mood swings and mood changes are also common during menopause.
Vasomotor Symptoms
Hot flashes cause a sudden feverish feeling of heat primarily in the chest, neck, and face and can cause excessive sweating and a racing heartbeat. Night sweats are hot flashes that occur while sleeping.
