Hello Anonymous,
The normal change in a woman's reproductive and hormone systems cause menopause. Over time, estrogen and progesterone levels stop fluctuating and reach low enough for the menstrual cycle to stop. When this happens, many of the symptoms improve or go away.
I am sorry to hear that you have been suffering with the symptoms of menopause for five years. Anonymous, have you discussed this with your gynecologist? Has your physician recommended any types of treatment?
I will direct you to some resources on the EmpowHER website.
