QUESTION:

How do I know when I’m in menopause?

ANSWER:

Menopause is the stopping of your periods. You are officially in menopause one year after your last period, so the time leading up to this point (if you are having symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, unusual weight gain, irregular periods, anxiety or feelings of depression) is called perimenopause. Though each woman is different, the average age women in America go through menopause is 52.
