Calling people with POI - a study from Kings College London on brain fog- read on.

Living with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) and struggling with symptoms like brain fog 🌫️, difficulty remembering things 🔑 and poor concentration 💻 ?

We are running an online study with cognitive tasks that will test your memory, attention, problem-solving skills and a symptom survey. We want to explore:

- What does cognitive difficulty feel like in POI (“I forget what I intended to bring with me, i.e. my phone”, “I forget numbers, like my PIN number”),
- Do current POI symptoms (like low mood, poor sleep) relate to how people actually perform on thinking tasks?
- When POI symptoms are worse, do memory, attention and other cognitive skills also get worse?

Research on women’s brain health, especially the long-term effects of early loss of ovarian function, has been limited. By taking part, you can help address this gap and contribute to a better understanding of how POI may relate to memory, attention, and thinking skills. 🧠 🩺

It’s great to that the Royal College of Psychiatrists is putting out a position statement on mental health and menopause.
We know many women is offered anti-depressants and find they make no difference, and that menopause can exacerbate some existing mental health conditions like bipolar and can also affect neurodivergent people.
Often women feel dismissed not not listened to.
This article talks about the need for better training of psychiatrists so they can better identify which symptoms are hormone related and offer more holistic support.

Mental health is one of the areas the Menopause Research and Education Fund will focusing on this year - and it is one of the reasons that is running in the for us.
Please support her. There is a link in the bio.

We really need to do better and offer vaginal oestrogens to more women who need them. Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) continues to be under diagnosed and under treated.

Nahum et al. conducted this retrospective cohort study utilising data from Clalit Health Services (2019–2022) from 62,813 postmenopausal women aged 55–90 years, of whom 15,242 had symptoms of urinary tract infection. Among 15,242 women (24.3 %) diagnosed with symptoms of urinary tract infection, only 36.2 % had completed a urine culture. Overall, 60.9 % of cultures were positive. Of the women with a positive urine culture, 28 % acquired antibiotics, while 26.2 % of those with negative cultures also acquired antibiotics. Additionally, 11.8 % of the study population used vaginal oestrogens, and there was a significantly lower incidence of symptoms of urinary tract infection (11.8 % vs.17.2 %) among these users (p
