About Menopause

The menopause is the name given to the end of menstruation (periods). It is also commonly referred to as "the change of life". In the UK, the average age for a woman to reach the menopause is 52. If the menopause occurs in a woman who is under 45 years of age it is known as premature menopause. It is estimated that premature menopause affects 1% of women under the age of 40 and 0.1% of women who are under the age of 30.

A woman is said to have reached the menopause once she has not had a period for one year. During the time leading up to the menopause several hormonal and biological changes occur. As a result of these hormonal changes, many women experience both physical and emotional symptoms.

Most women reach the menopause without seeking medical advice. However, treatments are available that can ease menopausal symptoms which can be distressing.
