Going through menopause is a major turning point in a woman's life, and one that has implications for both her physical and mental health. In other words, there's far more to the experiences a woman has during this transitional life stage than just the fact that it signifies the end of her childbearing years. That's why Life Extension, a health and wellness research site, conducted a survey of menopausal and postmenopausal women about their experiences with various symptoms, food cravings, and weight gain. The average age of respondents was 50 years old, with a standard deviation of 14 years. Based on the responses of 512 women, these are the five worst symptoms of menopause.
