Symptoms of menopause are a natural response to changing hormone levels that occur during peri-menopause and menopause, usually beginning mid to late 30's with the average for menopause between 50 and 52.
Although some symptoms are very obvious-others are subtler.
They all can be confusing, so we have created the following checklist to help you evaluate the severity of your hormonal imbalance.
Mild- bothersome and usually can manage to push through Moderate/Severe- a difficult problem, physically and/or emotionally draining Severe- barely able to function, physically and emotional unbearable No matter what you come to realize about the number of symptoms you are experiencing, you are not alone.
The following list of Common Problems was compiled from women 35 to 65 years of age.

Take it one day at a time.
Learning new techniques and incorporating them into your life can go a long way toward relieving menopausal symptoms.
The hormone changes we go through during menopause often rob us of our energy, our sleep-even our sex drive.
But there are subtle lifestyle steps we can take to reestablish natural hormone balance:
Eat Healthy Healthy eating habits and well-balanced meals will help relieve menopausal symptoms-as well as aid in maintaining an ideal weight.
Nutrients from a wide range of foods also greatly help prevent and delay the onset of age-related disease and discomforts that can affect your heart and bones.
Eat foods rich in calcium and anti-inflammation properties to help lessen joint pain and combat osteoporosis.
Foods that are rich in anti-oxidants, as well as omega-3, -6, -9 fatty acids, such as coldwater fish, have been proven to help maintain memory and protect against Alzheimer's disease.
Don't Smoke With hormone changes comes an increased risk of heart disease.
Smoking significantly increases your risk of heart disease and cancer.
By not smoking you can lessen your chances of developing heart disease and lung cancer and improve your overall health and physical appearance.
It's never too late to quit.
Decrease Anxiety Unmanaged menopausal symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes and insomnia can wreak havoc, adding unnecessary stress to your already-full day.
While Femmerol can help reduce your symptoms, it's up to you to try to decrease your stress and anxiety.
Breathing techniques, meditation, exercise, or simply taking a 20-minute break, can help put menopausal symptoms back into proper perspective.
Be Active Menopausal symptoms also include frustrating things we rarely speak of, like misplacing your car keys and reading glasses! Staying socially and mentally active is good for the soul, and memory.
Keeping in touch with your surroundings, family, and friends is uplifting to the spirit and energy level.
Staying physically and mentally active are proven ways to prevent Alzheimer's and heart disease.
Engaging in stimulating situations and conversations will help with relief of menopausal symptoms like depression and irritability.
Sexuality and Touch Female sexuality by its very nature is a sensory experience involving our whole body and mind.
There are many reasons for diminished libido, but the disruption of natural hormone balance often causes a noticeable decrease in libido, causing concern.
Although sometimes it's just a passing mood, there are physical menopausal symptoms like vaginal dryness and atrophy that can make sex uncomfortable and even painful.
Menopausal symptoms and hormonal changes don't need to interfere with your inner glow, your passion or true beauty.
Femmerol can help.
Experiment with some over-the-counter lubricates and speak with your partner.
As women today strive to live more in balance, we are more inclined to pamper ourselves and take pleasure in daily rituals.
Taking this time is more important than ever as you go through menopause, manage menopausal symptoms and reclaim your sexuality.
Exercise Exercising is an excellent way for you to maintain a healthy body weight and improve your overall health.
The increased production of endorphins will give you that feel-good feeling that minimizes menopausal symptoms such as depression and mood swings.
Find an exercise you enjoy and can work into your day.
Weight-bearing exercise also helps prevent against osteoporosis, and good cardiovascular workouts help prevent heart disease.
Exercising should be a manageable addition to include in your every day life.
Try parking at the far end of the parking lot, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
Take the dog for a brisk walk or hop on a bicycle.
Try an aerobic exercise class, stretch with yoga or build core strength with Pilates.
Adding little things to your daily routine can help you stay fit and healthy and ward off menopausal symptoms.
Breathe Breathing techniques have been proven to help hormone changes and ease menopausal symptoms.
Hormone imbalances that come about during monthly cycles, perimenopause and menopause are not a disease and shouldn't be treated like one.
