Here are 10 lesser-known symptoms of menopause: 1. Burning Mouth Syndrome
A burning, tingling, or numb sensation in the mouth or tongue, often linked to hormonal changes affecting nerve endings. 2. Itchy Skin (Pruritus)
Estrogen drop can cause dryness and itchiness, not just on the face but all over the body, including unusual places like the scalp or palms. 3. Electric Shock Sensations
A sudden jolt or "zap" feeling under the skin, sometimes occurring before a hot flash. 4. Gum Problems
Hormonal shifts can lead to sensitive, bleeding gums or even an increase in gum disease. 5. Tinnitus (Ringing in the Ears)
Hormonal changes can impact auditory nerves, leading to ringing, buzzing, or other noises in the ears. 6. Joint Pain and Stiffness
Often mistaken for arthritis, fluctuating hormones can cause inflammation and discomfort in joints. 7. Dry Eyes
A decrease in estrogen may reduce tear production, leading to irritation, redness, and dryness. 8. Changes in Body Odor
Hormonal shifts can alter how your body metabolizes sweat, resulting in a different or stronger body odor. 9. Weaker Bladder Control
Reduced estrogen affects pelvic muscles, leading to urinary incontinence or urgency. 10. Allergies or Sensitivities
Hormonal changes can increase sensitivity to certain foods, smells, or even skincare products
