More than a quarter of men in the UK have very little understanding of what menopause is, according to a new survey, and nearly a fifth admitted they wouldn’t know how to respond or react if their partner is (or was) experiencing menopause symptoms.
The UK-wide survey of men in a relationship with a female partner, from 3Gem Research & Insights, revealed that 15.4% of men are not interested in menopause, saying 'it's something just women need to know about'.
World Menopause Day helps raise awareness globally of menopause and the support options available for improving a woman's health and wellbeing. The findings, however, highlight that menopause isn’t just a challenging time for women. It can also be challenging for men. Nearly a quarter admit to not understanding symptoms enough to know how their partner will be (or was) affected by menopause.
