Menopause Experience

Hi and welcome to your Menopause Experience video. Your experience of menopause will be unique to you. There are a number of factors that influence the symptoms women experience at menopause. So what are they?

The first is your Genetics. One indication of your possible experience is what happened to your mother and your close female relatives, such as your aunts or sisters, during their menopause. Their experiences can give you a clue to the timing and symptoms you might expect. But remember, you only share 50% of your DNA with your mother and even less with more distant female relatives so your experience of menopause may be very different to theirs.

Every woman’s experience of menopause is unique. It’s not all about your genes so this is not your mother’s menopause! In this video you will discover the factors that affect your menopause experience. We will also look at the role of hormone replacement therapy, the risks and the benefits.
