‘I went through menopause at 14 - it changed the entire course of my life’


A woman who went through menopause when she was just 14 years old is urging others to never assume they are too young, revealing 'it can happen in your teens' and beyond

Now 43, the menopause advocate is campaigning to raise awareness of Premature Ovarian Failure and believes that doctors need more education to stop other women facing it alone. Hayley said: “I want to help raise awareness to women, but also to warn mothers that it may be happening to their teenage daughter instead of them and to look out for the signs as it’s a life changing diagnosis at an early age. Better education would result in quicker diagnosis, fewer GP appointments and onward referrals and huge time and money savings for the NHS.
