WOMEN'S HEALTH

The menopause, sometimes referred to as the "change of life," is the end of menstruation. This is when a woman's ovaries stop producing an egg every four weeks. She no longer has a monthly period and is unlikely to get pregnant. In the UK, 51 is the average age for a woman to reach the menopause, although some women experience the menopause in their 30s or 40s.

Common symptoms include: hot flushes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and discomfort during sex, difficulty sleeping, low mood or anxiety, reduced sex drive (libido), problems with memory and concentration.

Menopausal symptoms can begin months or even years before your periods stop and last around four years after your last period, although some women experience them for much longer.
