A symptom is a problem that someone experiences, which may be a sign of a certain disease. Symptoms can be acute or chronic. Symptoms can be similar for many different conditions.
Women may experience symptoms differently, some have few and less severe symptoms, while others have more frequent and stressful ones.
Hot flashes or flushes are, by far, the most common symptom of menopause. About 75% of all women have these sudden, brief, periodic increases in their body temperature.
Vaginal atrophy is the drying and thinning of the tissues of the vagina and urethra. This can lead to pain during sex, as well as vaginitis, cystitis, and urinary tract infections.
Relaxation of the pelvic muscles can lead to urinary incontinence and also increase the risk of the uterus, bladder, urethra, or rectum protruding into the vagina.
