Therefore, for many women it is a surprise that their ovaries stop producing estrogen may be in the past, and symptoms to be much trouble. Like many other women's issues, about menopause is not very customary to speak in public, and this greatly complicates our lives. That's why it's time to stop shy to discuss something with which every woman faces.

In addition, menopause sometimes occurs before 45 years, as too few people know.

If in a society often talked about menopause, its symptoms and how to cope with them, it would help thousands of women to understand what is happening to them.

We need to talk about menopause as loud and as much as we can, because we have to overcome the stigma and shame that we have in our society in relation to menopause, - says the author of a blog about menopause and former music PR Meg Mathews. - We must break the taboo.

Women's Health Topic little studied

Despite the fact that doctors have found a way to deal with menopause symptoms, scientists have very little understanding of how a woman's ovaries are functioning in adulthood. Studies on this process, virtually none. Science is still not deciphered the chemical signals that stop the maturation of ovarian follicles in the egg and have not figured out what role was played by other cells of the ovary. I still do not know why some women, menopause takes place almost no symptoms, while others are going through this period very difficult.

Were storylines about pedophilia, rape, murder and drug problems LGBT - but they (the creators of TV series - Ed.). Never had Beth Lynch at the counter in a hot sweat, - says Meg Mathews. - Soap plays a key role in helping to start conversations in families nationwide. So many women probably do not know how to explain to their own husbands, that happens. But if it was on a TV show as the story line, it would be a "look at what is happening in EastEnders, she menopause!".
