Menopausal syndrome - predictorAura or early menopausal syndrome menopausal symptoms are more obvious, to predict the adoption of the following a few:Forecast: hereditary entering menopause, age and genetic factors, the grandmother, mother, siblings, sister, menopausal age as his granddaughter, daughter, sister to enter the menopausal age predictor. However, this indicator is not absolute, susceptible to the acquired living conditions, environment, climate, social factors, drugs, disease and other factors, so that menopause earlier or later.2 to predict menopause age, age at menarche: the majority of observations confirm the age of menarche and menopause age is negatively correlated, that is, the earlier the age at menarche, age of menopause (menopause) is the later; the contrary, the later age at menarche, menopausal age, the sooner you .Menstrual disorders phenomena: menstrual disorders as manifestations of the final pre-menopausal period.

Recent studies have found that the female body more than 400 parts of tissue and organ of estrogen receptor, reduced estrogen, these tissues or organs can cause degenerative changes, including cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric, urogenital, bones and skin and other parts of the change. Have also been reported to confirm that the neurotransmitters are intrinsically linked with the occurrence of menopause.
