Celebrate Menopause Awareness Month with us

It'll be Menopause Awareness Month in October, and 18 October is World Menopause Day. This year’s theme is ‘lifestyle medicine’. Learn more here. Both are an opportunity to ‘raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and well being’.

Menopause is when periods stop due to hormonal changes. It affects anyone who has periods. Symptoms vary but may be physical, such as hot flushes, or impact mental health, such as anxiety. Read more here.
