Ladies, We Need To Talk

Perimenopause: but aren’t I too young?


Listen Later

If you think perimenopause is reserved for mid-life, think again.

When other 20 and 30-somethings are out partying or decorating the nursery, how do you cope with night sweats, hot flashes, brain fog and a tired libido?

What's it like to have the body of a young woman, filled with the hormones of someone decades older?

Yumi Stynes meets women going through perimenopause far earlier than they expected to learn how they manage their symptoms and cope with the prospect of infertility.

She also sits down with women's health expert and GP, Dr Natasha Vavrek who explains the science behind premature menopause and POI (Primary Ovarian Insufficiency).
