GUIDE TO MENOPAUSE IN THE WORKPLACE

Menopause is a natural event in most women's lives when they stop having periods and experience hormonal changes such as a decrease in oestrogen levels. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, however, it should be noted this can happen earlier or later, and typically lasts between four and eight years.

However, each woman's experience will differ, and menopausal symptoms can occasionally begin before the age of 40. Perimenopause, or menopause transition, begins several years before menopause. Women may start to experience menopausal symptoms during the final two years of perimenopause.
