WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT:

  • Up to 50% of the population may experience menopause and the other 50% is likely to know someone who may go through ‘the change’. So yes, it’s important to be informed!
  • 1 in 7 experience vulval pain in their life, so the likelihood is that even if you are not aware, someone you know may be going through this pain right now or do so in future. Knowledge is power, it’s time for change.
