Understanding Menopause - Symptoms
What Are the Symptoms?
Not all women experience symptoms with the onset of menopause. If menopausal symptoms occur, they may include hot flashes, night sweats, pain during intercourse, increased anxiety or irritability, and the need to urinate more often.
Call Your Doctor If:
- You experience bleeding again after menopause. Among other possibilities, bleeding may be a sign of uterine cancer, so you should see your doctor.
- Your symptoms are causing problems or interfering with your daily life. Your doctor may be able to prescribe medications to help relieve your symptoms.
