Menopause

Menopause is when a woman stops having periods. Menopause means ‘the last menstrual period’. It's not only those who identify as women who will experience menopause. Some transgender men, non-binary people and intersex people or people with variations in sex characteristics may also experience menopause.

Menopause is a natural event and transition that women and those assigned woman at birth experience, however, the timing and symptoms are different for everyone.

Common symptoms

There are some changes that may be noticeable during menopause, however, some may be part of aging rather than directly related to menopause.
