Menopause is a natural biological and physiological change that we cannot escape. There is nothing to worry about, you are not going to crawl in a hole and stop living.

Menopause causes a woman?s body to slow estrogen. What you can do to boost estrogen is incorporate soy into your diet, and has sex more than twice a week.
Some women endure depression, and mood swings that cause them to lash out. While no proof is available that links these behaviors to menopause, some studies believe that night sweats and hot flashes has something to do with it.
