100% of women go through menopause after a certain age. Typically, the menopause symptoms start 5-10 years before your menstrual cycle stops (perimenopause stage) and may continue for 10+ years after your cycle went missing for more than 12 consecutive months (that’s the most common definition of menopause), so you are considered in postmenopause thereafter, unless the stop of your cycle was due to other medical conditions. Or, you may have some medical condition that required a medically induced menopause (breast and ovarian cancer survivors, we hear you!), so you might have skipped the perimenopause and got directly into menopause, but symptoms most probably still bother you. And yes, the symptoms are way more than just hot flashes, mood swings, thinning hair or vaginal dryness, we cover them all.
