Menopause typically occurs at about the age of 51, but symptoms – including fatigue, hot flushes, heavy bleeding, difficulty sleeping and concentrating and pain and anxiety – can begin years beforehand.Magdalena Dingas was working in an advertising firm in 2017 when menopausal symptoms “just hit me like a rock”.
When the symptoms were at their worst, she took a combination of annual leave and sick days. However, she believes a workplace policy that offered time off or more breaks may have helped. “It was so interesting to see the response, which polarised around a lot of women saying, ‘Oh, thank God’, and some women saying, ‘Oh, for God’s sake’, and then, largely a male response saying, ‘Suck it up princesses’,” Ms Crooks said.
