Partners of women going through the menopause are being invited to experience one of the symptoms at a forthcoming support event.<\/b><\/p>\n
At the Menopaus’ull Support Network event in Hull next month, health group Over The Bloody Moon will be taking one of its MenoVests, allowing people to experience a hot flush \u2013 one of the symptoms of the menopause.<\/p>\n
Sarah Weichardt, who co-manages the project, said: “We’re particularly interested in getting men along to come and experience the MenoVest, just so that they can understand what women go through.”<\/p>\n
The event will be at Princes Quay shopping centre on 17 October, from 10:30 until 14:30 BST.<\/p>\n
“It’s not just a hot flush, it’s what the hot flush brings with it,” said Weichardt.<\/p>\n
“So it could be panic, it could be anxiety. It’s experiencing it all at the same time.”<\/p>\n
She said she hoped the vest would give people a “better understanding of what women are going through”.<\/p>\n
“The more people we can get to experience it, the better,” she added.<\/p>\n
The menopause describes the end of a woman’s reproductive years, and often happens at about the age of 50.<\/p>\n
The period leading up to this is called the perimenopause, which is when many women notice their periods becoming unpredictable.<\/p>\n
Other symptoms can include mood shifts, difficulty sleeping, and discomfort during sex.<\/p>\n
Weichardt said her organisation had a banner with nearly 40 symptoms on it. <\/p>\n
Many women “don’t necessarily know that they’re going into the menopause or they’re perimenopausal” until they see the banner \u2013 and then they sometimes have a “lightbulb moment”, she said.<\/p>\n
Once women have “accepted it and are happy” they are menopausal or peri-menopausal, they can seek the support they need, she added.<\/p>\n
There is also a Menopaus’ull Support Network event in Beverley on 10 October between 10:30 and 13:30 BST at the Toll Gavel Church.<\/p>\n
