Understanding Menopause
This 5-minute video was designed to empower women and share real-life experiences from all stages of the menopause transition.
Perimenopause
The perimenopause is the period of years in the run up to menopause, where we experience the reversal of puberty, which can start as early as 35 years of age. This video from the World Health Organisation explains more.
Checking Symptoms
Use this symptom checker from The Menopause Charity to help track your symptoms. It can help you to talk with your healthcare professional. Together you can work out whether you may be experiencing perimenopause or menopause. It can also rule out any other underlying conditions.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
- This useful document from The Menopause Charity helps to dispel some myths surrounding the use of HRT.
- You can get an HRT prescription prepayment certificate (HRTPPC) from the NHS if you’ve been prescribed an eligible hormone replacement therapy (HRT) medicine. You’ll save money if you’re going to buy more than 2 prescription items in 12 months.
