- Primary ovarian insufficiency. (Premature menopause)
- Hot flash
- Chills
- Excessive sweating
- Difficulty sleeping

Our healthcare system doesn’t seem to cater to menopause as it should.
A recent study showed that 73% of women don’t seek treatment for their menopause symptoms.
Further, an estimation demonstrates that only 6% of women seeking menopause symptom treatment actually get it.
