World Menopause Day
October 18 · Level 5 · #1338 of 2238
This day is about women's health around the menopause and about talking about it openly, without embarrassment. It aims to show how symptoms can be managed and where to find good advice.
How it is celebrated: doctors and health groups hold talks and webinars and hand out information leaflets, while women swap stories with friends and colleagues.
Menopause is confirmed after twelve months in a row without a period, and the average age it arrives is around 51.
