🌸 World Menopause Day 2026 🌸
18th October | This Year's theme is - Chronic Pain
Did you know that menopause can affect more than just hot flushes and mood? This World Menopause Day, we're shining a light on chronic pain and menopause. Changes in hormone levels during perimenopause and menopause can contribute to symptoms such as:
🌸 Joint pain and stiffness
🌸 Muscle aches and discomfort
🌸 Headaches and migraines
🌸 Sleep disturbances that can make pain harder to manage
🌸 Worsening of existing pain conditions
