As women approach and enter their 40s, they can expect to experience a lot of changes. Women with children will likely watch their children leave the home. Other women may experience turning points in their careers. But all women will begin to experience the early signs of menopause.

As if going through significant bodily changes isn’t stressful enough for menopausal women, another very common side effect of menopause is brain fog. Cognitive impairment at an older age can be scary. You may be wondering, “Is it an early sign of dementia? How reliable am I going to be in my day-to-day life?”

Menopause brings a lot of change. Hot flashes, infrequent periods and mood swings are just some of the symptoms a woman can experience during this pivotal phase in life. While menopause only lasts a few years, it can have long-term effects on your health. Menopausal women are more at risk for developing certain diseases in the years to come.
