The majority of women will experience symptoms and 1 in 4 will report such significant symptoms that they seriously affect their quality of life and their work life. These symptoms can last anything from 4 – 8 years and for some women, lasts well into their 60s. Some women will have no symptoms at all, their periods just stop.

For more information on symptoms, please visit our Menopause page on our website https://highlandsexualhealth.co.uk/menopause

October is

For the majority of women, the Menopause is a natural physiological process when their ovaries lose their reproductive function, don’t produce enough the essential hormone oestrogen and their periods stop. From the Greek word Menos (monthly) and pausos (ending). Medically, the diagnosis of menopause is made when periods have stopped naturally for 12 months. In the UK, the average age of the natural menopause is 51 years.

If you think you may be experiencing symptoms of menopause, speak to your GP. They can refer you to our Menopause Specialist if you need further advice and guidance.
