Menopause Matters, Let’s Talk

Relationships and the impact of the menopause.

Season 2, Ep. 6
•

Do menopausal symptoms have an impact on relationships, and do our relationships affect our views on and use of HRT …well, we’re all different, but for some people if can really have a significant impact. 

For those it does affect, whether at home or within the workplace, we’re delighted to say Dr Claire Macaulay has joined us again, this time with her other hat on as a sex and relationship therapist.

Even if you don’t think you’ve got anything to worry about this is definitely worth a listen!
