7 Dwarfs of 
Menopause
7 Dwarfs of Menopause!



Welcome to the world of menopause, or more specifically on this site, Minnie Pauz®, the "Rebel with the Pause"! She's here to help you find your way through the maze of menopause symptoms and to find treatments and solutions for them. The big difference between this site and others is how all the issues of menopause are tackled with a sense of humor. 
HRT is supported here--Humor Replacement Therapy!

What is menopause?
Menopause is the time in a woman's life when her period stops and she can no longer become pregnant. It is a normal change in a woman's body. A woman will know she has reached menopause when she has not had a period for 12 months in a row (and there are no other causes, such as pregnancy or illness, for this change). This happens for most women after age 45. 

Menopause is sometimes called, "the change of life." In the years leading up to menopause, a woman’s ovaries slowly make less and less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. You might not be aware of the changes happening in your body. Or, you might have symptoms as you near menopause. Many women wonder if these symptoms are normal, and many are confused about how to treat their symptoms.

You will feel better by learning all you can about menopause and talking with your doctor about your health and your symptoms. If your symptoms are causing you discomfort or concern, your doctor can teach you about treatment options and help you to make wise choices.

What are the symptoms of menopause?
Menopause affects every woman differently. Your only symptom may be your period stopping. You may have other symptoms, too. Many symptoms at this time of life happen because you are getting older. But some are due to menopause. It’s not always possible to tell if symptoms are related to aging, menopause, or both. Some changes you might notice as you near menopause include:

•Change in pattern of periods (They can be shorter or longer, lighter or heavier, or there may be more or less time between periods.) 
•Hot flashes (sometimes called hot flushes), night sweats (sometimes followed by a chill) 
•Trouble sleeping through the night (with or without night sweats) 
•Vaginal dryness 
•Mood swings, feeling crabby, or crying spells 
•Trouble focusing, "fuzzy thinking," or forgetfulness 
•Hair loss or thinning on your head or more hair growth on your face
