Menopause is a stage of life that women do not generally look forward to. In fact, it is more commonly a time they dread given the experiences that many women have as they transition out of their reproductive years. On top if this, as there is with menstruation, there is a stigma around the time of menopause that paints a very grim and bleak picture of what happens to women. We are indoctrinated with a certain kind of attitude that tells you your life is over as a woman. You become invisible, you are not looked upon as desirable, there are often issues with weight gain, the ageing process is inevitable, along with hot flushes, vaginal dryness and painful sex.
