Menopause is a natural condition and should be embraced and accepted as such. However, the symptoms of menopause can sometimes be so debilitating that just accepting and embracing it isn’t enough (although it helps greatly). I have read so much in the past few years and have talked to many people about it. Some of the websites (and indeed people and organisations) advocate that menopause has been portrayed as an illness by the media and is ‘medicalised’. This in a way undermines the condition and the suffering of many women! Although menopause is a natural condition, the emotional roller coaster that a woman may go through because of the fall in oestrogen levels and other related symptoms may eventually turn into an #illness if not treated. There are far too many #women suffering from menopausal #symptoms that it is time to talk about it and take it more seriously.
