Menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats. Sleep issues, mood symptoms and others are no joke and it’s not something that women have to “endure” as part of aging. The experience of menopause will vary from individual to individual. Luckily there are a number of options to help manage menopause symptoms.
