The International Menopause Society (IMS) has been collaborating with the World Health Organization to make October World Menopause Awareness Month. World Menopause Awareness Day 18 is celebrated on October 18. The IMS explains that the day's goal is to raise awareness on the menopause, and the support options available to improve health.


The theme for 2021 will be bone health. According to IMS' white paper, Osteoporosis, and its associated fractures, are the most common metabolic bone disease. These fractures cause increased morbidity as well as mortality. IMS has a leaflet that provides information to patients regarding bone health, as well as a poster for awareness.

A woman's estrogen levels fall and they stop having menstrual cycles for 12 months. It can take as much as 10 years to reach this point. StatPearls states that the median age at which it occurs is 51. However 5 percent experience it earlier between the ages of 40 and 45. Hot flashes are a sign of genitourinary menopause (genital dryness or irritation, sexual dysfunction, and/or urinary problems), as well as mood swings and sleep problems.


October 18 Is World Menopause Awareness Day

"World Menopause Awareness Month-Day" emphasizes the importance that women, their family members, and the clinician community celebrate and prioritize the well-being and health of women as we age. It also allows us to draw attention the negative portrayal that the mass media gives menopause.

Menopause Awareness Events, Campaigns, and Activities

Red Hot Mamas is a support group that provides information and support for women going through menopause.   It is important to have a clear plan of action about menopause, and the future.   Bertrand Russell said that "To conquer your fear is the beginning to wisdom." So, I urge all women over 40 not to let menopause scare them. Instead, replace fear with knowledge.   All women over 40 should do this! European Menopause and Andropause Society announced and celebrated the inaugural World Menopause and Work Day on September 7.   EMAS estimates that in 2020, 657 millions women between 45 and 59 years old worldwide will be working, with 47 percent contributing to the workforce.   Worryingly, EMAS is confirming that women who have severe menopause symptoms have a greater chance of being unemployed or reducing their hours.   This raises questions about the effect on women's income immediately and their ability to reach retirement with sufficient pension savings and contributions

Understanding Menopause and Perimenopause

Los Angeles-based Denise Pines, 55 years old, noticed some signs of perimenopause.   I have unbelievable health access.   Yet, I was still in denial when I noticed that I was developing menopausal symptoms.   I didn’t even know what menopause meant. StressNoMore data scientists recently looked into how many women relied on "Dr.   Google" for menopause advice. The data analysts at StressNoMore analyzed the top symptoms as well as their monthly Google search volume.   They discovered that 360,000 Google searches a year are done for side effects associated with menopause.

Red Hot Mamas' founder Karen Giblin stated that "Menopause is often a confusing and hard time."   It is essential to develop an informative plan for menopause.   Bertrand Russell was a writer who once stated, "To conquer fear and become wise is the beginning for wisdom." This is why I encourage women to embrace menopause as an opportunity to learn and not be intimidated by it.   This should be the goal for every woman over 40. European Menopause and Andropause Society, (EMAS), announced and celebrated September 7th the first World Menopause and Work Day.   EMAS states that there were 657 million women between 45 - 59 globally in 2020. 47% of them worked for the workforce.   Worryingly there is more evidence that women suffering from severe symptoms of menopause have a higher likelihood of becoming unemployed and reducing their work hours.   This raises concerns about the potential impact on the women's ability to earn an income now and later in life.   EMAS
