background

I'm 54, haven't had a period for 3 years and had a test which stated that I was post menopause (never had mood swings or hot flushes) Over the past few months I have seemed to have had crippling anxiety and some weight gain - not sure what's going on?

You won’t get the menopause the minute you turn 50! The average starting age is actually between 45 and 55 and it can often depend on a number of factors including hereditary, weight and health, however every single woman will have an individual menopause.
