A leading menopause expert is urging more people to be aware of an often often overlooked symptom.
Consultant Asha Kasliwal of Manchester University's NHS Foundation Trust suggests that most women are aware of the common signs such as irregular periods, hot flushes, difficulty sleeping and mood swings.
However, the expert, who has her own self-referral menopause clinic, wants more attention to be given to the symptom of "brain fog". This sign can make it difficult for sufferers to simply chat with friends and family and can even make recognising people more difficult.
