Fear of menopause.

Menopause is a state which most of the middle age women start dreading.
At around 45-55, sometimes earlier, a woman's ovaries run out of eggs.
At the same time, the ovaries stop making the female hormones - oestrogen and progesterone - which greatly influence a woman's health and personality.

Withdrawal symptoms are experienced. The most obvious is that periods become irregular, and then stop.

For 80 per cent of women, their temperature control system goes on the brink, causing hot flushes and sweat.
Feelings of listlessness, tiredness and irritability become common.

Feeling the various signs of ageing, including aches and pains, sudden wrinkles, dry hair and so on, will also increase.

Post-menopausal women are at greater risk of bad health in old age.
Osteoporosis (brittle bones), heart attacks and strokes are all common problems.
