Menopause - the questions to ask
From 2026, questions about menopause will be included in routine NHS health checks for all women over 40 years old. But whilst your doctor will ask you about menopause directly, it’s vital that you must find out what you need to know about how you are feeling. We asked a panel of menopause experts the key questions you should ask.

Menopause
The menopause is the time when your ovaries stop working to make an egg each month - it occurs 12 months after your last period. The perimenopause is the time when your periods are getting less regular and you are said to be in the postmenopause when your last period was more than 12 months ago, and this is not due to your periods stopping for another reason such as the use of a contraceptive that stops your periods.
