Menopause is something that every woman in the world is going to go through at some point in her life. It is just one of the things that makes a person female. Lots of women do everything they can think of to delay it, but the fact is that, at some point down the road, their bodies will stop having their monthly cycles.

A decline in mental acuity is perhaps the most annoying menopause symptom as all, especially for the woman going through it. Lots of women say that they have a hard time concentrating, that they feel disoriented and that they are often confused. There are women who say that they have memory lapses that are particularly disturbing. Obviously this can be frustrating for you, but it is also frustrating for the other people in your life.
If the women in your life are forced to deal with this symptom try your best to be sympathetic. It is far more irritating for them than it is for you! One of the harder to detect menopause symptoms is an irregular heartbeat. Some women notice that their heartbeat will suddenly speed up or it will slow down without them having to do anything at all to cause a reaction. A woman who is sitting still might feel a short race in her heart which quickly slows back down. Other women do not notice this symptom at all. Once in a while a woman will only learn that this has been happening is when she visits the doctor for something else. The doctor is usually just doing a routine listen to the woman’s heart when he notices the irregularity. If you are the right age, this might just be a sign that you are going through menopause.
This might sound weird, but lots of women say that their natural scents and smells start to change when they start going through menopause.

All the same, if a woman in your life suddenly starts to smell different (and is not using a new soap, deoderant or perfume) this might be a sign of menopause.
For some, menopause and puberty are similar experiences. Both are important and major changes that the woman cannot control. For most women menopause is the worst of the two simply because it has more symptoms and they are more severe.
