Am I Menopausal, What Are The Symptoms?
There are a number of tell-tale symptoms of the menopause and the first is your periods stopping, or there being more time between periods.
When you are entering the menopause, or are perimenopausal, you may get some, or all, of these symptoms:
- Hot flushes
- Night sweats
- Difficultly sleeping
- Reduced libido
- Problems with your memory or concentration
- Headaches
- Mood changes – anxiety or low mood
- Heart palpitations
- Joint pains, aches or stiffness
- Reduced muscle mass
- Recurring UTIs
- Weight gain

Menopause Weight Loss diet:
Before, during and after menopause, your oestrogen levels begin to fluctuate, and your metabolism slows.
This can affect the way that your body stores fat – making losing weight before menopause or during menopause incredibly difficult, particularly in your midsection.
With a combination of a healthy diet, regular exercise and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), you should be able to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle.
Why Does The Menopause Cause Weight Gain?
Menopause causes weight gain in so many women because of the drop in oestrogen levels.
Our fluctuating hormone levels can affect the way that our bodies are storing fat and the way our body manages food can also change during menopause, meaning we burn less calories than we did pre-menopause.
The weight we gain during menopause also doesn’t distribute across our bodies in the same way that it did before either.
Where pre-menopause, your weight would more-or-less evenly distribute across our whole body, when we enter the menopause, our weight tends to gather around the middle as visceral fat, and crucially, around our vital organs, which can prove to be dangerous.
