I am 50 soon to be 51. I’ve had no periods for a couple of years and have had no symptoms, sweats etc and wondered if I have gone through the menopause without the symptoms?

Many women go through the menopause with no discomfort or symptoms at all so well done! Unfortunately, women's magazines and the media do tend to focus on the worst aspects, which can frighten a lot of women into thinking that they will automatically have a difficult time. From now on all you really need to do is take good care of yourself, eat well and keep stress to a minimum!
