Menopause is not something women need to endure
For many years, women have felt that menopause was just something they had to endure and that treatments came with adverse side effects.
That is no longer the case, thanks to advances in medicine and research into alternative therapies and lifestyle interventions. Women who are availed the right treatment can be happier, healthier and more productive at work and home.
