background

Can you tell me if aching hips, lower back and groins are part of the menopause? I haven't had a period for nearly a year. I'm 44 years old. I am having hot flushes, so pretty sure it is menopause. I generally am feeling unwell for most of the day. Is this normal?

Did you know?

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
