Symptoms commonly reported around the time of menopause include:
If you are above 45 and having symptoms of menopause which do not affect your daily life, you do not have to consult a doctor. However, if the symptoms are affecting your quality of life, for example the hot flashes prevents you from getting good sleep or you are feeling sad and are losing interest in things or find difficulty coping with family life or work you should see a doctor.
However, you should see a doctor if your period bleed is more often than once in 3 weeks, you have heavy period flow or you have spotting between your periods. If you have undergone menopause with no bleeding for 12 months and then start bleeding again (even if very little) you should see a doctor.
