By all women as their child-bearing years come to an end. Menopause symptoms are part of a natural biological process experienced. The transition can begin as early as the 30s and last even into the 60s. Illness is not a symptom of menopause, just a natural consequence of aging.

Both the lining of the vagina and of the urethra become drier, thinner, and have less elasticity with the onset of menopause. Consequently women tend to experience burning and itching and have an increased chance of urinary or vaginal infections. A frequent urge to urinate is common with minor incontinence especially when laughing, sneezing, or coughing. After full menopause these problems can continue. In addition, sexual intercourse may become increasingly uncomfortable, even painful.
The most common menopause symptoms, the hot flash, is a consequence of dropping estrogen levels that cause blood vessels to expand rapidly with an attendant increase in skin temperature. Generally women experience sweating and a flushed appearance. This can last from 30 seconds to several minutes and can occur as often as once an hour.
