How far through the change does a woman start to have hot flushes and go off sex?

This is a very difficult question to answer as it will be different for every woman, the menopause is a very individual experience, some women don’t even get hot flushes, others may get a few now and again whilst others will get them every day. 

Symptoms can also vary during the menopause so you may only get flushes for a short while then have something else.

Loss of libido is common but often due to other factors at that time such as fatigue, low mood etc. For this you may find the herb Maca helpful, just Google for more info.
