Menopause symptoms to look out for

Some of the more noticeable signs of menopause include the breasts becoming flabby and shrink, and the vagina, atrophic and unyielding. The brittleness often causes chronic inflammation and adjacent skin cracks that become infected and make intercourse impossible.

Additional consequences are so varied, obscure and bizarre that most physicians are hopelessly puzzled at the recital of symptoms from their menopausal patients.

What, for example, can the poor doctor make of a woman who complains to him of menopause symptoms such as nervousness, irritability, anxiety, apprehension, hot flushes, night sweats, joint pains, melancholia, palpitations, crying spells, weakness, dizziness, severe headache, poor concentration, loss of memory, chronic indigestion, insomnia, frequent urination, itching of the skin, dryness of eye, nose and mouth, and a backache ?
