Common Symptoms

What are the symptoms of menopause (or estrogen deficiency)

The symptoms of menopause are varied, insidious and can frequently be misdiagnosed as endogenous depression, migraine or general debility. However, vasomotor symptoms and vaginal dryness in association with depression, tiredness and headaches of recent onset are characteristic of menopause or estrogen deficiency (although these may not be the initial presenting symptoms or the most distressing symptoms). 

The major long-term problems of menopause include the development of adverse changes in blood lipoprotein concentrations, the generalized atrophy of connective tissues and the progressive reduction in bone mass (risk of osteoporosis).
