Ini, I did not know about Menopause. But when I was abt 46, my periods became very irregular. I’d go for 3 to 4 months without a period, and then they would come. If I’d been in a relationship, I would have worried that I was pregnant. I started feeling hot at night with severe sweats. My feet would be on fire Very hot.
My back also started itching. This went on for 4 years.
I told my madam (murungu wangu) that I worked for about what was happening to me, and she’s the one that then explained that it was Menopause and that my period was coming to an end.
When I turned 50, my periods stopped, and so did the sweats.
