5. Trouble Sleeping
Can’t fall asleep? Or waking up at 3 AM wide awake? Hormonal imbalances can seriously mess with your sleep cycle. Add in night sweats and anxiety, and you’ve got the perfect storm for insomnia.
6. Brain Fog Is Real
Forgot why you walked into the room? Lost your train of thought mid-sentence? Cognitive changes like memory lapses and poor concentration are surprisingly common during menopause—and frustrating, too.
7. Low Libido
If your sex drive took a nosedive, hormones are likely to blame. Decreased estrogen and testosterone levels during menopause can affect not just desire but also comfort during intimacy.
8. Vaginal Dryness and Discomfort
This is one of those changes no one talks about—but many experience. Lower estrogen levels cause thinning and drying of vaginal tissues, leading to irritation or discomfort, especially during sex.
9. Weight Gain Around the Belly
If you’re gaining weight despite eating the same and staying active, menopause may be the culprit. Hormonal changes shift fat storage, especially to the abdominal area. And no, it’s not just about willpower—your metabolism is changing.👉👇💕
