10 Signs of Menopause

Menopause Sign #4: Urinary Complications
We tend not to have too many problems with our urinary tract unless we are unfortunate enough to experience frequent infections. As we get older and our bodies begin to change, however, things can become different. Women going through menopause are likely to find that problems with the urinary tract are more frequent.
This is largely because menopause can cause the vaginal wall to become thinner and less elastic. This, in turn, can lead to more infections. Other symptoms can include urinating more frequently, reduced control of the bladder, and weakening pelvic muscles.
