Menopause is a natural stage of life, yet so many of us walk into it without knowing what to expect. In Sweden, a national survey found that one in three women didn’t know enough about menopause as they entered it.
The best time to learn the signs is before they show up. Look for reliable information, and talk openly with your health provider, your friends and the women in your family. Chances are, they’ve been wondering too.
