Kathryn Whittaker - ArticleCity.com Like all major turning points in women�s
lives, reaching menopause can be challenging and even a little frightening. Like
puberty, menstruation, pregnancy and childbirth, menopause carries with it a
whole host of natural, but nonetheless challenging and sometimes uncomfortable,
physical changes. Moreover, it also carries with it a plethora of normal
emotional and spiritual reactions, ranging from denial, confusion and even
grief. After all, menopause marks a completely new phase in a woman�s life. It
heralds the end of our childbearing bearing years and ushers in a different
phase of deep female maturity. And, since unfortunately we still live in a
culture that equates femininity with sexual fertility, it�s no wonder that many
women regard menopause as a negative thing. Sadly some regard it as a
nullification of their worth as women, something that couldn�t be further from
the truth. Menopause also reminds us we are getting older and our are bodies are
naturally aging. That fact in itself can be a difficult to accept.But what is
menopause exactly? Menopause is an intermediary stage that takes place when Charlotte

common signs are hot or cold flushes; weight gain; mood swings and irritability;
emotionality; decrease in libido; muscle and joint soreness; depression; rapid
or irregular heart rate; disordered sleeping patterns and irregular periods as
well as lighter or heavier menstrual bleeding. In fact, the symptoms of

wellness. That said, the symptoms and signs of menopause can be difficult to
live with, and women should not face it alone. Think about it this way. If men
had to go through menopause, just imagine the level of support, public awareness
and caring workplace practices that would be established to help them through
it! As it is, women have to muddle through menopause as best they can, dealing
with it day-by-day, with their friends and sense of humor as their best
allies.Like all health matters, being well-informed about the sorts of symptoms
you might experience allows you to physically and mentally prepare. Indeed, some
women do not even realize they are going through menopause because they simply
lack the information to explain what they are feeling! It�s not until they
research and explore the signs that they make the connection. And it�s no
wonder, given that the list of potential symptoms is so long and diverse.
