The final taboo in women's health is menopause. It's a topic that receives little attention from scientists and is seldom discussed in families.
Although every woman's menopause transition is unique, for many women the natural menopause transition occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. According to data from the British Menopause Society for 2022, 75% of women will have menopause symptoms, 25% of women will characterize these symptoms as severe, and 1 in 3 women will continue to suffer symptoms for longer than the typical 7 years. Furthermore, every woman will experience the 34 recognized symptoms of the menopause transition differently and to differing degrees.
