Generalisation ideas
- Conversations: this is an abstract concept as it is very individual to each woman and varies a great deal over time. Talk often in a casual manner whenever opportunities arise about changes that might be experienced during menopause.
- Consequences: who can you talk to about menopause?
- Flipside: what if you are not comfortable with menopausal symptoms?
