From today until midday on 13 October, every donation will be doubled 💜

Too many women live with debilitating period symptoms, yet many wait almost two years before seeking help because of stigma, embarrassment, or not being taken seriously.

That's why we're campaigning to end period stigma and investing in research that could change millions of lives.

Donate today and help create a future where women feel heard, supported, and confident to seek help.

What's the one thing you wish you'd known about menopause?

Menopause and perimenopause can affect all women differently. And South Asian women typically experience natural menopause (12 consecutive months without a period) 2-5 years earlier than their white counterparts.

If you're not sure whether the symptoms you're experiencing are 'normal', check out the Wellbeing of Women Menopause Information Hub.

Here, you'll find information, experiences, advice and support to help you navigate the changes happening in your body 💜

The truth about menopause is...
..it doesn't always happen in your 50s.

Lots of women experience menopause earlier on in life, so it's really important to know what changes in your body could mean and how to get help if you need it.

Clare didn't know much about v***al cancer before she was diagnosed. Now she wishes more women were told to check their v***as, like they are their breasts. This is Clare's story 💜

"Before I was diagnosed with v***al cancer at the age of 43, I had never heard of the condition.

"Initially my GP thought I had herpes but after a second look, she said it could be v***al cancer.

"After years of battling with lichen sclerosus, I noticed a tear in the perineal area, which I thought would just heal by itself but it ended up changing into an ulcer.

"In a few months it had doubled in size and was always on my mind. I could feel it when I went to the toilet or sat down.

"I was formally diagnosed and needed surgery and radiotherapy.

"After doctors discovered it had spread, I had the surrounding lymph nodes removed and 33 more radiotherapy sessions.

"The side effects are not widely spoken about, but for me they changed my life. I was in menopause at the age of 43.

"The cancer returned after 7 years of remission. But after a 5th surgery, I was back in remission again.

"Earlier this year, I had a biopsy which showed more cell changes. I’m waiting on results from my latest surgery.

"You hear about and see the more common cancers everywhere, but you do not see v***al cancer anywhere. I wish you were told to check your v***a like you are your breasts."
