A menopause awareness advocate says women need to be better informed and GPs better trained to treat menopause.
Women in Australia will soon be eligible for a menopause health check and in Britain menopause is taught as part of the high school curriculum.
Meanwhile, our Ministry of Health has told menopause health and awareness advocate Sarah Connor it has no plans to lead a national menopause awareness campaign.
Instead, Sarah and a team of volunteers are distributing menopause awareness-raising posters to GP surgeries.
Sarah talks to Susie in the Wellington studio.
