All women go through menopause, when the menstrual periods stop and the child-bearing years end.

Symptoms may emerge all at once, or may be mild at first and progress over time.

The U.S. Office on Women’s Health says symptoms of menopause include:

• No menstrual period for 12 consecutive months.
• Hot flashes.
• Trouble sleeping.
• Mood swings and irritability.
• Vaginal dryness.
• Loss of interest in sex.
