From today all my colleagues can claim on expenses their prescription costs when they are recommended HRT. It’s so important that we support our colleagues going through the menopause. #menopauseday

Colloquially, menopause is often used as an umbrella term, encompassing perimenopause and postmenopause.

It’s fine to use the term menopause this way, as it’s accessible to most people.

It’s also helpful to know the exact definitions and phases. https://t.co/iOwWBYlKQS

Despite affecting half of the world’s population, #menopause remains badly funded, rarely discussed and poorly understood, in the workplace, in society and even in the doctor’s surgery.

Women have been left to suffer for years, it is time for a #menopauserevolution!

Feeling dry down there? Vitamin E may help with that. Research has found that vitamin E vaginal suppositories may be an alternative to vaginal estrogen in relieving symptoms of genitourinary syndrome during menopause. https://t.co/PE9gbp0agi

The spine, knees, hands, hips, and shoulders are the most common sites for menopause-related aches and pains.

Can you relate?

Don’t fret—exercise, diet, HRT, supplements, and anti-inflammatory medications can help.

Menopause can be a surprisingly positive experience for many women.

What are some reasons to look forward to menopause?

[Bia Care @MenopauseBia]

But don't sweat it, you can ask your healthcare provider for a blood test to check if your thyroid is functioning properly.

[Bia Care @MenopauseBia]

These include fatigue, low mood, weight gain, hair loss, menstrual cycle irregularities, and body temperature changes.

Having an underactive thyroid and being perimenopausal means symptoms overlap, thus are often more intense.

Despite how common hot flushes are, there’s very little research into why they occur.

It’s thought that declining levels of oestrogen can result in a decrease in norepinephrine—a hormone that helps with temperature regulation—resulting in a temperature rise and hot flushes. 🔥

[Bia Care @MenopauseBia]

Falling oestrogen levels can contribute to hot flushes, but oestrogen isn't the only culprit: other hormonal and neural changes also affect ‘thermoregulatory centres’ (the body's thermostat) in the brain.
