Myth #3: “Menopause is just hot flushes.”

The Truth:

Menopause is a whole-body transition with many possible symptoms - not just the occasional heatwave.

Yes, hot flushes happen. But here are other common signs:
Sleep disturbances & night sweats
Brain fog, memory lapses, difficulty concentrating
Mood changes: anxiety, irritability, low mood
Joint aches, muscle pain
Vaginal dryness & discomfort during s*x
Palpitations
Changes in skin, hair, nails
Increased risk of osteoporosis

Every woman’s experience is different. Some breeze through, some face a cluster of these challenges. Recognising them helps in seeking the right support.

Speak to your GP to find out more about the support available to you during the perimenopause/menopause.

Myth #2: “Menopause starts when your periods stop.”

The truth:

Menopause is a medical milestone that’s confirmed 12 months after your last period.
The years leading up to that point are called perimenopause - when hormones start to fluctuate and symptoms may begin.
After menopause, your body continues to adjust to lower hormone levels - so the journey doesn’t just end when your periods stop.

This is your reminder: is your mammogram overdue?

October isn’t just about awareness - it’s a prompt to take action.

Mammograms save lives by detecting breast cancer early, often before there are obvious symptoms. When breast cancer is found early, treatment is more likely to be effective and outcomes are much better.

If you were invited for breast screening but missed or didn’t book, you can still get an appointment. Rebooking is possible even if your invite was weeks or months ago.

How to make sure you’re up to date:
Check you are registered with a GP and that your contact details (address, email, phone number) are up to date.
Look out for your NHS invitation- if you’re between 50–71 years old, you’ll usually be invited every 3 years.
If you haven’t been invited or it’s been more than 3 years since your last mammogram, contact your local breast screening service.

For more info / to book or change a breast screening appointment, see the NHS guidance here: How to book or change a breast screening appointment – NHS uk

Let’s use this month to stay on top of our health - share this if you think someone else may need a reminder.

Myth #1: “Menopause only happens after 50.”

The truth:

The average age of menopause is around 51, but it can happen earlier or later.
Perimenopause (the transition phase) can start in the 40s - sometimes even mid-30s.
Some experience early menopause (before 45) or premature menopause (before 40).
Surgical menopause can happen suddenly at any age if the ovaries are removed (for example, during a hysterectomy where the ovaries are also removed).
Medical treatments, genetics, or health conditions can also influence timing.

Menopause isn’t tied to one age. It can be gradual or sudden, natural or surgical - every journey is unique.
