Premature menopause is when a woman’s final period occurs before she is 40 years of age, while early menopause is when this occurs between the age of 40 and 45 years.
This 40-page booklet is a helpful resource for women whose menopause may have arrived years earlier than expected. It includes causes, signs and symptoms, clinical management and treatment options, the potential emotional and physical health impacts, and information on further support and resources, for both women and their partners.
