Join us Thursday, October 24 at 8am ET / 1pm BST on Instagram Live for a conversation with Sandi MacDonald and Hazel Hayden on Managing Menopause.
While premenstrual disorders occur during the reproductive years before menopause, menopause is an important topic for all of us with PMDs.
Many of us wonder how perimenopause will affect our symptoms, or you may be currently experiencing changes and looking for guidance.
Menopause can also result from some of the more advanced treatments for PMDs - GnRH agonists put the body into a reversible chemical menopause, while removal of the ovaries puts the body into permanent menopause.
It’s normal to have questions.
Menopause is a big topic in the PMD community, and this October during Menopause Awareness Month we hope to start the conversation.
During the Live, Sandi and Hazel will discuss menopause in general and in the context of PMDs. We also plan to have follow up conversations specifically on chemical and surgical menopause.
Sandi is IAPMD’s co-founder with lived experience of PMDD, perimenopause, chemical menopause, and surgical menopause, as well as supporting many others in our community. Hazel is the founder of the Bristol Menopause Clinic, Consultant Nurse, and Registered Menopause Specialist by the British Menopause Society.
