Is there any first symptom signs of menopause and what are they?

When you have had no menstrual periods for 1 year, you have reached menopause. Menopause symptoms include hot flashes, sleep disturbances, emotional changes, such as mood swings or irritability, a change in sexual interest or response, problems with concentration and memory that are linked to sleep loss and fluctuating hormones, headaches, rapid irregular heartbeats, and generalized itching. As far as medical testing is concerned, your doctor can do a follicle stimulating hormone test which would confirm whether you have reached menopause. This particular hormone increases during perimenopause and is high after menopause. Source(s): I am a nurse for over 21 years
u get all hot
When you know your a woman!

fact is your going to get it!
Irregular periods

Odd days of "strange hormonal feelings"

"Butcher Knife Attack Syndrome" when I would feel like killing a song bird or a fuzzy kitten for NO apparent reason. That was my name for the strong and unprovoked feelings of "kill!" that I would get.

I manage my menopause with a Mexican Yam Cream and have done so for about 5 years, Now I am tapering off and use it only every day or 3. Ask your physician.

You can get through this. I did not have the ususla hot flashes that everyone talks about, Get lots of liquids, exercise and sleep. And stay spiritually inclined.
yes there is body flushes, a change in your peroid it can be very light like spotting or very heavy, how well do you know your own body if you know it totally you will notice the slightest change in it also you dont need to be in your forties to be starting the menopause it can happen earlier every individual is different the doctor can also do a test to tell you if you are starting the menopause check the web for info or your local family planning will have leaflets on the menopause
Everyone is different but for me it is irregular periods, from usual 28 day cycle to 40 days back to 28 days over a year or so now its around 34 days cycle and when the period does arrive it usually lasts for about 2-3 days, but can be very changeable. Best to see your doctors
