Menopause Sign #3: Missed Periods
The menstrual cycle allows for an egg to be released from an ovary for fertilization and for the uterus to shed and replenish its lining if egg fertilization and implantation does not occur. During a woman’s “period”, the uterus sheds its lining which causes bleeding from the uterus through the cervix and then out through the vagina.
A key aspect of the menopause is that women will begin to skip periods. When they do have them, the flow might be lighter or heavier than usual. They can also find that their premenstrual symptoms become more pronounced.
