Menopause, one of the most important transitions experienced by women during their lifetime, is one of those topics that many women, even today, seem to know very little about. In order to "offer a positive, useful and comprehensive resource to women everywhere," John Rowlinson, the founder of PtS in Great Britain, has established menopauseexpert.co.uk/. The site was created to provide support "to women who are experiencing menopause," mainly by providing links to "high quality articles that are thoroughly researched and based on evidence." The features and articles are written by experts with experience or a particular interest in this area, and the focus is "simply on having experts create the highest quality information possible that is widely read."
Currently, there are over70 articles written by experts, who continually update and add new content. A few of the articles listed on February 22, 2009, included:
Early Days of Menopause and What to Expect
Managing Your Weight after Menopause
Eating to Support a Healthy Transition
Acupuncture and Menopause
The site also offers the possibility of asking their experts a specific question, as well as the opportunity to help others by sharing the story of your transition, if you wish.
