I am too young still, but I have an idea how it will effect me due to my mom. My mom suddenly got very curly hair during menopause. She also became extremely moody and prone to depression. Her appetite decreased significantly. Her sex drive decreased significantly and she experienced sexual dysfunction as well. That is the biggest changes I noticed or she told me about. She told me she wanted me to be informed bc her mom told her nothing about menopause and she said she didn't feel prepared.
Hot flashes are happening, I'm very horny a lot of the time and I have very erratic periods, skipping several months, (my nipples get sore but no period) then suddenly I get a really heavy period from hell that leaves me in a lot of pain.
@PatientlyWaiting25 funny how menopause has such different reactions ,and different time scales too ( maybe your being horny,comes from the sad lack of sex also ♥♥)
I’ve noticed my hair is drier. I went through menopause last year. I was lucky it was easy for me. I remember it was very hard on my mother when she went through it.
I found that if I get plenty of exercise, I dont get the hot flashes that alot of women complain of. The parimenopause was worse and I couldn't wait until that phase was finally over.
I have Low Testosterone ( Hypogonadism) I get warm spells, cold spells , sweats, low sex drive, etc. doctor doesn't know why I have it also it could be Diabetes related not sure. This is called Male Menopause. Not fun to have at all.
