background

I am having around 30 hot flushes per day. I hear so many stories from other women and their advice is always different. Some say to take medication, others say that I should let it happen on its own as medication will only prolong the symptoms. What would you advise?

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.
