更年期是女性健康至關重要的階段，從這時候開始雖然不再需要面對月經問題，但同時也可能面臨卵巢機能衰退、性荷爾蒙減少，以及熱潮紅、情緒不穩、憂鬱、失眠等生理現象，維持外表青春的元素也隨之衰減。
絕經前10年就會出現明顯身體變化
在台灣，女性平均更年期年齡約為48至52歲之間，而在停經的前10年開始就會因為女性荷爾蒙減少而出現不同的身體變化。如果發現某些身體變化愈來愈明顯，就應該注意是否為荷爾蒙減少引起的更年期徵兆。根據美國媒體《醫療日報》指出，女性在更年期來臨前最常出現下列症狀

這時期的月經周期可能會變得比平常更長，間隔時間也更久。月經流量也容易出現大幅度改變，例如突然遽烈增加或減少，都可能是更年期前的經前綜合症。
【體重增加】
女性的體重增加與雌激素減少、胰島素阻抗、新陳代謝趨緩，以及腎上腺應激激素等增加有關，且最容易在小腹處累積明顯的脂肪。
【陰道乾燥】
加州戈特弗里德研究所教授Sara Gottfried 指出，因為雌激素的減少，女性生殖系統也會有所改變，其中常見的包括陰道退化，導致陰道壁乾燥變薄，嚴重者可能會引發陰道疼痛，造成性生活不適。
【關節疼痛】
肌肉、關節疼痛甚至偏頭痛，都是更年期前的肌肉變化徵兆，另外有些女性還會出現乳房顏色改變，甚至胸部疼痛症狀。
【睡眠品質低落】
由於更年期前就會出現熱潮紅與盜汗，至少35至50%的婦女會在這時期出現夜間盜汗、體溫升高，若同時伴隨大量生活壓力時，狀況可能更趨惡劣，再加上睡眠品質降低容易造成白天的疲勞感。
【性慾降低】
荷爾蒙改變易導致女性在更年期前，因為陰道萎縮而出現性慾遞減，喪失對性生活的慾望。
【認知能力下降】
不惟身體狀況易受荷爾蒙影響，女性的認知能力包括記憶力與邏輯，都容易在絕經前出現變化，不少參與研究的女性都指出更年期前的健忘和注意力不集中，對生活造成非常大的影響。另外因為睡眠不足，也會影響女性的記憶力表現。
【皮膚狀況變差】
包括頭髮變乾變澀、容易斷裂分叉，指甲也容易變脆、變乾，皮膚表面出現皺紋、油光、面部的毛囊開始長出毛髮（激素改變）以及面斑等，都是更年期前最常發生的皮膚問題。
多攝取鎮靜煩躁食物有助改善不適
此外，有研究顯示更年期前女性容易覺得喉嚨有異物感，以及常感覺火氣大、下腹部抽痛等現象。日本醫藥博士根本幸夫曾指出，更年期時可多攝取番紅花、紫蘇、蓮藕、蓮子、百合根、肉桂等能鎮靜煩燥、改善血液循環的食物，同時也要避免有刺激性的辣椒、芥末、山菜、竹筍，以及含糖甜點，才能改善更年期的不適症狀。
