HELP WITH MENOPAUSE
What is Menopause?
THE OFFICIAL DEFINITION
Menopause originates from the Greek words ‘menos’ (month) and ‘pause’ (stop). It is 12 months after your periods naturally stop.
However, if you are on hormonal contraception, including the Mirena coil, then you may not be able to determine this, and symptom monitoring is more useful.
Menopause and Women
Although we use the term women when discussing menopause we acknowledge that some transgender men, non binary people assigned female at birth and some intersex people or those with variations in sex characteristics may also experience menopausal symptoms.
We aim to support anyone who is going through menopause, both within the clinic and at our community talks.
Menopause is commonly used as an umbrella term when we are actually referring to any of the situations detailed below.
