Menopause isn’t a topic that’s openly discussed. With over 48 symptoms that often mirror other health issues, menopause can be challenging to decode*.

Most women are unaware of these changes, with more than two-thirds unfamiliar that symptoms like urinary tract infections, heart palpitations, and pain during intercourse are linked to menopause**.

These lesser-known symptoms can pose a challenge for both individuals and healthcare experts to connect the dots and pinpoint it’s hormone changes.

Some women experience menopausal symptoms for over two decades*.

Both perimenopause and menopause play a role, with symptoms affecting a whopping 95% of women; 75% of them report that these symptoms are highly disruptive to their daily routines**.

This highlights the importance that effective healthcare solutions are needed.

Menopause doesn’t always stick to the script.

While it commonly arrives in your early 50s, its exact timing is as individual as you are. In fact, about 10% of women experience the onset of menopause in their 30s*.

Known as perimenopause, this transitional stage brings surprising symptoms that can catch you off guard. Age variability adds another layer of complexity, making it challenging to decode symptoms, especially if you expected this phase later in life.

Left untreated, the long-term health consequences of menopause symptoms include increased risk of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, diabetes, dementia, thyroid problems, high blood pressure and cholesterol*.

We’ve been misled about effective treatments. Of the women seeking medical advice, 72% found it unhelpful and felt unsupported*.

In 2002, the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) raised concerns about breast cancer and heart disease risks associated with hormone therapy (HT), but newer evidence has alleviated these concerns, especially for younger women. Despite this, HT remains underutilized, and menopause remains neglected in medical education.
