Early Menopause: 10 Signs (and More) to Watch Out For

 

Brain fog: when the brain shuts down

Do you have trouble concentrating? Following a conversation? Or finding that cursed word on the tip of your tongue? This phenomenon, often described as  “brain fog  ,” can be directly linked to  hormonal fluctuations.

Tingling, pinpricks… What if it’s hormonal?

Unusual sensations in the hands or feet, such as numbness, itching, or tingling, may occur due to nerve damage related to the  drop in estrogen .

Dry eyes and blurred vision: an unexpected side effect

Dry eyes are common during menopause. The glands that naturally moisturize the eyes become less effective, causing  irritation and visual discomfort  .

Changing body odor

Some women notice that their body odor changes. Sweating becomes more abundant and sometimes  more acidic . This phenomenon is explained by hormonal changes and the increase of certain bacteria  on the skin .

Fine hair, tight skin

The less estrogen there is, the drier, thinner, and more sensitive the skin becomes. Hair thins and loses volume, while slight fluffiness may occur on the face. These transformations can be slowed down with  proper care and a balanced lifestyle  .


And even… Digestive problems

Bloating, slow bowel function, gas, loss of appetite: the digestive system also reacts to this hormonal upheaval. It is affected by the  decrease in estrogen , which interferes with digestion and overall metabolism.

In short: knowing better means living better.

Early menopause is neither a myth nor a taboo. It’s a reality experienced by thousands of  women in France , sometimes as young as 35. By recognizing these signs early, you can anticipate them, adjust your lifestyle, and seek advice at the right time.  Never forget: everyone talks, you just have to know how to listen.
