No matter at what stage of life you are at we will have girls who we love around us going through menopause.

In the past it has been cruelly taunted when really we need to step up our game to be better informed and supportive of the very real challenges this brings to the female body and mind. Imagine men trying to handle monthly periods, childbirth and menopause.

I find it helps best when I educate myself on it so I can understand symptoms and how those I love are choosing to manage it, even empathy alone is a powerful ally.

Each female menopause is very individual so treatments can vary and be changeable, and the whole process can take ten years. Happy to be educated further on any links or info those better informed than me can add.

As someone who is currently living with a menopausal demon, I agree with you there mate.

Bud, you need understand andropause first before you begin to understand menopause
 

HRT is pretty much ok for most women too, bar those with strong histories of hormone dependent breast cancer. Generally I'd be happy for most to be on it till 60, then review risks again (blood clots, heart disease, breast cancer). Transdermal HRT, or topical estrogen and a mirena confer no addition risk of blood clots.
