Yes, : Yes, that is exactly right, those problems could be a sign of menopause. The average age of menopause for all women is 53-54. Estrogen and other hormone levels start changing prior to the actual onset of menopause. If your symptoms worsen however are are affecting your lifestyle, then please consult with your physician, as many of the more severe symptoms of menopause can be successfully treated. In addition, women after 50 should be seen for a general check up to assess for other health conditions, get their blood pressure checked, thyroid checked, and other "maintenance" health care needs.
