I am 48 and I have had two periods since last August. I have vaginal dryness, bone and joint pain and tiredness.
I don't have many sweats - they are not a problem.
I have no family history of breast cancer but have family history of osteoporosis and I have hypertension managed on medication. I was unable to take the contraceptive pill because of my BP.
GP is doing some bloods ( also checking thyroid as I am hypothyroid on thyroxine) . If my thyroid is ok she says I am then going through the menopause and because my last period was very scant it's a possibility I might be quite a way through the process.
She says its up to me re HRT. I seem to be ok but I am not sure if I am just get used to it all. I don't know if I need/want HRT. I dint want periods again as I had severe period pains and I don't want all that again ( this past year has been fabulous)
