Women have revealed the positive things about the menopause, including not having periods, the end of PMS – and having more confidence. A poll of 1,000 women, who are currently or have been through menopause found that while it is often seen as a challenge, more than a third (34 percent) never felt “freer” than when it was all over. Other benefits include experiencing a new lease on life and feeling more stable hormonally. Some women also enjoyed better sex and a higher libido, as well as feeling fitter and truer to themselves.
The research was commissioned by Vitabiotics Menopace, whose ambassador and TV broadcaster, Gabby Logan, said: “We wanted to show that while the menopause can be a challenging life stage, many women find there are positives, and the more communication with friends, family, and colleagues, the better. Of course, for many women, it’s not something they look forward to, and it can be a very difficult time.
