On World Menopause Day the International Menopause Society (IMS) explain:
“World Menopause Day is held every year on the 18th of October. The purpose of the day is to raise awareness of the menopause and the support options available for improving health and wellbeing”.
Menopause begins in the late 40s or early 50s for most women and it usually lasts for a few years.
During this time, at least two-thirds of women experience symptoms of menopause.
