Pause for Menopause: the Facebook group made for women, by women.

Menopause can be a daunting and worrying time for us as women, as our bodies change and we are faced with a strange collection of symptoms that don’t make sense.

Group admin Kellie Cooper writes:

“This group is an extension of the talks kindly run by Dr Viswa and the team from St Wulfstans Surgery at the Community Hub, Galanos House in Southam.“Every woman will go through menopause, but everyone’s experience is different. This group is designed to be a safe place for women to share their experiences and voice their concerns.

Menopause is when a woman’s monthly period stops. It happens naturally as women age, they slowly run out of eggs. Also when they have their ovaries removed through chemotherapy or other reasons. The average age women go through the menopause is 52, but a woman could start to experience menopausal symptoms as early as 30.

This group is a loving support group for women to discuss their symptoms, stories and woes about going through the menopause and for us all to kindly share experiences and support each other.”

Pause for Menopause encourages women to open up about their menopause journeys, creating a safe space to reach out, support each other, vent frustrations and most importantly realise that they are not alone.
