Night sweats, hot flushes, and mood swings - welcome to the rocky road of the menopause!

Here are some facts:

  • The average age for a woman to go through the menopause in the UK is 51.
  • However, the menopause can begin any time from your mid 40’s onwards.
  • It can be earlier for some women, especially if there are underlying medical conditions.
  • It lasts anything from a few years to longer. 
  • About 60% of women experience a range of symptoms. The major ones include hot flushes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, reduced libido (sex drive), vaginal dryness, headaches, low mood/anxiety, but not all women will suffer the same symptoms. 

For many, it’s a really personal experience with its own unique range and severity of symptoms.
