Half of women who have been through the menopause initially kept it secret from their partner - with a fifth not confiding in anyone at all at first, according to research.
A poll of 2,000 women found 43% of those who’ve gone or are going through the menopause or pre-menopause felt ‘completely alone’ during it.
Nearly eight in 10 (79%) didn’t discuss their condition with another female relative and 77% didn’t even tell their mother.
