Aging is an unfortunate part of life but appreciated in it’s own way. As females age, they typically fear the day menopause is going to start. During menopause, women may experience several changes to their body. These changes are all due to a rapid decline in vital hormone levels. Women tend to be very in-tune with their bodies so these changes are often noticeable immediately.
