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 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 But you still are attractive to men even though you can't give them a kid and have lost your purpose in life. Men will go with any thing.
@emiliya wow. I don't know if that was a compliment - that I might be attractive to men - or an insult? I don't see that I have "lost my purpose in life" or that I am the "anything" that men will go with. I still believe I have a lot to offer but thank you, I will take it as a compliment.
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 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.
