We go through periods, childbirth and menopause, just to name a few things. It’s all part of being a woman, so most of us wear these events like badges of courage. You may start seeing the signs of menopause before you were planning on it. Make sure you know what it looks like before it jumps on your back.
One of the first signs of menopause is typically that a woman’s periods become irregular. Generally this means that they stop coming every 28 days as they typically do throughout the course of a woman’s premenopausal life. Other symptoms will gradually begin, as well.
