The menopause can make you feel as if you're not in control of your own body, but there are ways to ease the symptoms.

Keep cool

Hot flushes and night sweats are the most common symptoms of the menopause. They're caused by a malfunction in the body’s normal methods of temperature control. They can occur even before your periods have stopped but are most common in the first year after the last period.

To ease hot flushes and night sweats:
- Wear lighter clothing.
- Keep your bedroom cool at night.
- Do more exercise
- Try to reduce your stress levels.
- Avoid potential triggers, such as spicy food, caffeine, smoking and alcohol.

Try to relax

Psychological symptoms can include feeling down, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, tiredness and lack of energy. However, this time in a woman’s life can also be stressful due to parents' ageing and loss of independence, death of parents or relatives, divorce or ‘empty nest syndrome’ when children leave home.

The following tactics can help improve your mood:
- getting plenty of rest
- regular exercise
- relaxation exercises such as yoga
