Did you know that the average age of menopause in India is 46.2 years, which is younger than the 51 years average in Western countries. A survey by the Institute for Social and Economic Change (ISEC) found that 4% of Indian women experience menopause between the ages of 29 and 34, and 8% experience it between 35 and 39. These are stats that are wake up calls to help and support women with medical care, emotional support, compliant work ecosystem, educating families and throw in light on the subject.

Out of many worlds co-existing in India , women health and wellness unfortunately has struggled in all the worlds. Every month is some awareness month . Hence, there is one world which exists on LinkedIN and there is one outside it . Let us take example of breast cancer , less than 1% of women undergo regular breast screening in India and numbers have not gone up significantly . October is menopause month and awareness & ecosystem is still appalling . In nutshell, Inspite of billions of dollars getting pumped in the ecosystem, women health and wellness is still in limbo. Recently saw an extremely important piece by BBC talking about how Indian women do not discuss Menopause even with their husbands.- https://lnkd.in/gY9BWawy At PregAmie , we try to increase awareness , give tools to women to monitor symptoms and create an ecosystem for timely intervention. However, we also know that awareness is not an information problem in India anymore with internet penetration . With women, it needs an outlook change and problem lies deeper than realms of accessibility and affordability at least in case of Menopause and other Post delivery issues .It might not be a glamorous problem to solve but that is where quality of life suffer for millions of Indian women. Let us talk. #menopause #health #breastcancer #cancer #wellness #women #mentalhealth

This International Women’s month, we’re recognising the progress made in women’s healthcare while bringing awareness to the many health disparities ethnic minority women face. According to a 2023 report, women from Black and minority communities in the UK have a delayed menopause diagnosis rate of 45% compared to 31% for white women. Additionally, it found that these same women only have an uptake of HRT of 8% compared to 15% for white women. In fact, contrary to popular belief, The British Menopause Society found that ethnicity impacts the age at which women enter menopause. The average age for Western women is 51 years old, whereas the average menopause age for Indian women, Pakistani women, and women of African or Caribbean descent is 46.7, 47.16, and 49.6 years, respectively. This highlights the pressing need for research and education devoted specifically to women of minority backgrounds. Assuming that all women experience menopause at the same age and in the same way can contribute to delayed diagnosis and may cause unnecessary suffering and negative health outcomes. Menopause is a unique experience for each and every woman and should be treated as such. Let’s #InspireInclusion and makes sure that ALL women have equal access to quality and timely care at every stage of life. #IWD2024 #InternationalWomensDay #InclusiveHealthcare #Theramex #ForWomenForHealth #TheramexForWomen #WomensHealth THX_HQ_EN_16930_v1
