“There is stigma attached to it.”

“Women have been made to feel that once they are out of their child-bearing years they are irrelevant. And being menopausal has been reduced to a punchline for a joke.

To admit being in menopause feels like you are announcing you are old, grumpy and are entering an era of invisibility.”
