How to spot the signs of menopause - BBC News

The menopause happens to women at an average age of 51, but symptoms - such as hot flushes, night sweats and low mood - can begin a lot earlier.

Campaigners are encouraging women to talk more about the menopause and calling for more training for medical professionals.

UK politician Carolyn Harris is launching an inquiry in Parliament, hoping to help GPs and individuals better recognise symptoms of the menopause.

Sorry still non the wiser... If this report was meant to help people spot the signs of menopause then I think the person that edited your report should have been told... Very poor content. I look forward to a re-make, as you must have loads of info on the cutting room floor.

The title doesn’t really match the content of the video…

[Serendipity]

Yes this really needs to be talked about more so women especially in Peri Menopause start to see signs and know how to ease symptoms ❤❤❤❤ men also go through changes and don't speak about it also

[iamdmc]

so... WTF are the signs of menopause?
this was a video about how badly equipped GPs are at diagnosing menopause, and menopausal women speaking and agreeing with each other
useless

So, BBC! How to spot the signs of menopause?! This was the most useless, unfocused video I have seen in a long time. You can do better than this!

Title: "signs to look for in menopause"

Video: it's horrible and GPs don't know enough, so we need to train them better"

Eh?? 🧐🤔

5 mins later, I am no better informed. 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

This video was a shock. I would expect absolutely every medical school to cover the biology and treatment of menopause in detail. I think a follow-up piece should be done on the huge number of unnecessary Hysterectomies that have been performed.

This is shocking that doctors in Western country r not educated in such Common condition!! 😳😏

[rchlletters]

Older women have a responsibility to talk about this openly with younger women…it would have helped me tremendously!

Signs of impending menopause can include but not limited to: changes in menstrual cycle( missed periods, scanty periods, etc), mood changes ( anxiety, panic attacks, depression, including suicidal ideation), hot flashes, nausea, night sweats, insomnia, decreased libido, vaginal dryness, fatigue, relationship problems, etc...to name a few.

This is women affairs and their way of life and welfare

MEN 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[edyann]

Oh... I'm almost 44 so this hurts.. This hurts.
Watching. 😣

[jenniferpower]

I'm still confused, how do you spot the signs of menopause?..🤔

Quote presenter "Menopause. It's not really something that people really talk about till they get to a certain age, but some day its going to happen to everyone." No Love - it only happens to women.

The averge age is 51. So nobody is talking about all the women who are way past 51 before experiencing any menopause !!

[DoItWrightRo]

So many women are going through menopause. I’m going through peri menopause and they say it is the worst because my hormones are up and down like a disastrous roller coaster. And I am experiencing 95 - 98.75% of all of the symptoms.

[mandycolleen]

The title of this film clip is very misleading. At no time are the signs and symptoms of menopause discussed. Disappointing.

[pandorasbox]

I started peri at 44 - in our family, women who don't have kids by 40 begin to go through menopause before 50

[SymphoniasStories]

USA here. In my early 40s, asked Obgyn if I could be in perimenopause, she dismissed out of hand.

Good reporting, completely useless title.

How about *MP wants medical schools to train doctors how to spot menopause.”*
