I should be used to hearing women tell me they feel too embarrassed to go to their doctor about their menopausesymptoms; but I’m not. I find it staggering how far we’ve still got to go in terms of proper menopause support when there are quite literally millions of women who are affected by it at any one time.
In fact, there are nearly two million women in the UK going through the menopause right now and yet there is still significant stigma attached to the condition. From irregular menstrual cycles, hot flushes and fatigue, to weight gain and heavy bleeding, 90 per cent of women suffer debilitating symptoms – but many say they’re too ashamed to talk to doctors.
