What’s wrong with mom lately? Her mood goes up and down, sometimes she’s angry, sometimes she’s irritable. She’s in a good mood for a moment, but if something doesn’t go her way, she gets annoyed. As her child, I don’t know how to handle it. Sigh… Is this what menopause is called?
Or is mom going through menopause…
Many children face the problem of their mom being irritable and moody, even though she doesn’t show any signs of illness. Everything seems to upset her. Don’t get frustrated yet because mom’s mood swings might be a sign that she is entering menopause. The reason mom gets easily irritated is due to a decrease in estrogen hormones in her body, which makes menopausal symptoms more apparent. So, let’s check what symptoms indicate that mom is going through “menopause”.
Usually, menopausal symptoms occur in women who have reached menopause, with an average age of 50 years (some may be slightly younger or older). Each person may experience different symptoms, which can be divided into physical and psychological symptoms.
