I started the menopause about 18 months ago, and I keep getting very forgetful. Is this to do with the menopause?

This is a common scenario on the approach to the menopause, and can continue for some time before your periods finally stop.

Some women find the herb Agnus castus helpful for this; it is traditionally used to help restore a proper monthly cycle.

If you are concerned at all by any changes, or if heavy bleeding does occur, you should get it checked out by your doctor.
