YES® Guide: Understanding and Navigating MenopauseUpdated a month ago

Understanding and Navigating Menopause

Menopause is a major life event that will affect all women during their lives. It can be a difficult time for some, and many women will experience a range of emotions and physical symptoms throughout the transition. There are generally understood to be three stages of menopause, explained below, but everyone's experience will be unique. Menopause can also occur because of certain surgeries or cancer treatments. This can sometimes cause symptoms to be more sudden and, in some cases, more severe [1].

On average, women will experience menopause symptoms for around seven years in total. 1 in 3 women will experience symptoms for longer [2], but these symptoms can vary considerably in severity.
