If anyone is going through or has been through the menopause what are the signs?

Im not yet going through menopause but I do know about it from my job and those I know that are/have gone through it....
its different for everyone... some may go through it at age 30 and others may go through it as old as the late 60's.
some notice changes and others do not.
for some people they notice irregular periods for others they just stop having a period one day and nothing after that.
for some people there is moodiness for others no mood changes.
for some people theres hot flashes, for others no hot flashes
for some people theres cold flashes for other no cold flashes
for others theres a combination of the two (hot flashes and then cold flashes following directly after the hot flash...)
for some people they have night sweats and others do not
for some people they break out in rashes others do not
some people go through phases where their skin itches and others do not go through the skin itching phases...
the only way to tell for sure if you are going through menopause is by contacting your treatment provider..if you think you are going through the three phases of menopause (peri menopause, menopause and post menopause) contact your treatment provider there are tests that can tell you whether your body is in these phases of life. and if you are there are treatments that can make going through these phases easier and can in some cases stop this process if its too early for you to be going through it...
