I am a GP and Menopause Expert in West Midlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As women we are designed to have babies. That is our one main role in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you think in the 1900s \u2013 the early 1900s \u2013 the average age of the Menopause was 57 and they would on average die at 59. So we had only a couple of years of Menopause to experience. Now the average age is 51\u2026so a few years earlier. But the average life-expectancy of the woman is in her eighties, which is amazing. It is great. So it a 30 years of potentially having menopausal symptoms or being post-menopausal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some women only experience symptoms for a couple of years and they are the lucky ones. But I have patients who still have hot flushes in their seventies and their eighties. So not only do they have symptoms for a long time but the lack of estrogen can affect their bones and can affect our hearts adversely as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Louise Newson clarifies how long the menopause can last in some [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1345,"template":"","subject":[78,32],"content-type":[22],"library-format":[23],"library-author":[],"class_list":["post-1935","menopauselibrary","type-menopauselibrary","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","subject-british-sign-language-library","subject-education","content-type-video","library-format-watch"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/menopauselibrary\/1935","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/menopauselibrary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/menopauselibrary"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1935"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=1935"},{"taxonomy":"content-type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/content-type?post=1935"},{"taxonomy":"library-format","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-format?post=1935"},{"taxonomy":"library-author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.balance-menopause.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/library-author?post=1935"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
