Hello ladies.
To my shame I also knew nothing of the menopause and when, at age 49 my GP asked me if I had experienced any symptoms I said no but added that I may never have any! No wonder he gave me a strange look! I learned later that his wife had suffered during her menopause which explains why he was so clued up.
I think we can forgive ourselves for our ignorance to some extent, especially if we haven't witnessed older women suffering but I am amazed that so many medical professionals remain unenlightened. It's the number of doctors and nurses that know so little about the menopause that worries me.
Take care all.
K.
