The same list of symptoms usually comes up for anyone searching the menopause online – hot flushes, mood swings, joint pain and fatigue, but did you know there are a whole host of lesser-known symptoms that can affect a woman during this time?

In our mythbuster video, we explore the symptoms that aren’t always associated with the menopause and perimenopause but are just as important and often overlooked.

Watch more of our mythbuster videos in our video hub, along with our Health FAQs and Health Chats.

We understand that it can be hard to keep up with the sheer array of symptoms that comes with menopause and the questions you might want to ask your GP. That's why we've created a menopause checklist for you to fill in and take with you to your appointment. It can help you keep track of symptoms and offers some questions you might want to ask, as well as a space for your notes to record down the answers.
