Menopause Information

Menopause                                               

Anyone can be affected by hormonal changes during their lives for a number of reasons, including pregnancy, fertility treatment, gender transitioning, conditions needing hormone treatment, and menopause.

Whilst the menopause is a completely natural and natural part of life, it’s a time when hormones are changing and some people can find this difficult or confusing and need more information to support & reassure them.

Age UK Lancashire wants to ensure that everyone has access to the information that will help and support them through menopause or perimenopause.
