Menopause is defined as a woman’s last menstrual period. The average age of menopause is 51. A woman is considered postmenopausal when she has not had a period for 12 consecutive months.
Each woman’s transition into menopause is different. Some women have mild, early menopause symptoms. Other women find the quality of their lives significantly affected by changes in mood, memory, and productivity, and by uncomfortable physical symptoms. Early signs may include irregular periods, changes in menstrual flow, or skipped cycles. If you’re noticing these changes along with other symptoms such as hot flashes or sleep disturbances, it may be an indication that you’re entering menopause.
Menopause can affect many areas of health, and symptoms vary widely among women. Hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings are some of the most common signs, but menopause may also cause vaginal dryness, weight changes, thinning hair, and decreased libido. Some women experience memory lapses or difficulty concentrating. These changes are the result of declining hormone levels and can range from mild to disruptive, impacting both physical comfort and emotional well-being.
Our Menopause Self-Check Assessment Quiz is a simple way to evaluate whether your symptoms may be related to menopause. By answering a series of straightforward questions, you’ll be able to identify patterns that point toward hormonal changes. The quiz is designed to give you an initial understanding of your stage in the menopausal transition and highlight whether further evaluation may be helpful. It’s not a medical diagnosis but can serve as an important first step toward clarity.
The results of the menopause quiz can help you see whether your symptoms align with typical stages of menopause, such as perimenopause, menopause, or postmenopause. If your answers suggest significant hormonal changes, this may guide you toward seeking professional advice. The results can also provide reassurance if your symptoms are mild or common for your age. Understanding where you are in the transition empowers you to make informed choices about symptom management and treatment options.
