-Yes, this is a series -about the menopause. | 0:00:03 | 0:00:07 | |
-Don't you dare change the channel! -It affects us all. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:11 | |
-Yes, men too. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:14 | |
-I'm 53 now. -I should be prepared for it. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
-But I don't have a clue -what to expect. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
-I'm determined to learn more. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:26 | |
-From women's experiences... | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
-You don't need the pill -or anything else. Just enjoy life. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:33 | |
-..the treatments available... | 0:00:33 | 0:00:36 | |
-Some men don't want to know. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
-They don't know -about their wives' symptoms. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
-..and how older women -worldwide deal with it. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
-I felt I was going nuts at times. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
-This thing, -the change, the menopause. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
-Don't put that in! | 0:00:52 | 0:00:54 | |
-Don't put that in! - -I can't say it! | 0:00:54 | 0:00:55 | |
-Whatever you call it, -I'm going to understand it. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
-We know that -the menopause is the time... | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
-..when women's periods -and childbearing years end. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:19 | |
-We've heard about symptoms, -like sweating and hot flushes. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-But there's one subject -we haven't touched yet. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
-What do we all want to know? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-How does the menopause affect sex? | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
-Sex. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:41 | |
-Right! | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
-That's enough, stop that. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
-The menopause can cause -problems in our sex lives. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
-Sex is painful -for about 80% of menopausal women. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-But to cheer us up... | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
-..after the menopause, some women -say that sex is better than ever. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:14 | |
-They don't need contraception. -They know they're not pregnant. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
-Maybe the relief makes them -feel they want more sex. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
-There's no physiological reason -that makes women want more sex. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:29 | |
-But the skin in the uterus -and round the clitoris changes. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:34 | |
-It's much more sensitive, -so pleasure can be greater. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-Maybe that drive -and having more pleasure from sex... | 0:02:40 | 0:02:45 | |
-..can increase -women's desire for sex. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-What about our women's experiences? | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
-From my experience, maybe sex -is better after the menopause. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
-You're free and don't have -to worry about anything. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-You don't need the pill or anything -else. No trimmings, just enjoy life. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:12 | |
-Once your body is back -working as it should... | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
-..it seems to go into overdrive... | 0:03:16 | 0:03:19 | |
-..if you know what I mean. | 0:03:19 | 0:03:21 | |
-Er... | 0:03:21 | 0:03:22 | |
-..I can't say it! | 0:03:23 | 0:03:24 | |
-I was going to say -that KY jelly is out of it! | 0:03:29 | 0:03:32 | |
-I look forward. I hope I find a man. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:35 | |
-I'm not quite at the end yet. -It's something to look forward to. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
-It was great before. -I hope it'll be better afterwards. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:45 | |
-It is a positive aspect. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-We have to think -about it positively. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
-We should look at it -as a liberating process. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
-It does have plus points. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
-I don't think there's a difference. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-No. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:02 | |
-Maybe you lose interest a little. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
-Different. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:07 | |
-Maybe different is a better word. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:11 | |
-Maybe you don't feel -sexual desire... | 0:04:11 | 0:04:15 | |
-..in the same way -you did when you were young. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-That's natural. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:20 | |
-Maybe you enjoy the experience -in the same way... | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
-..but the desire isn't there -as it was in your youth. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
-Of course, the effect -of the menopause on sex... | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
-..is different for everyone. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:43 | |
-But help is available -for women who have bad symptoms... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
-..like painful sex, feeling -depressed or fluctuating moods... | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-..or just don't want sex. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-Doctors are aware of these problems. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-The main thing is to shatter -the taboo and not feel embarrassed. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:05 | |
-It's very important -for us women to enjoy sex. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:09 | |
-Very often, people don't think -about what is out there... | 0:05:09 | 0:05:13 | |
-..that can help the enjoyment... | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
-..especially when -one is rather "dry". | 0:05:16 | 0:05:19 | |
-There is a great variety -of lubricants available. | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
-They make a great difference -to one's sex life. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
-They make sex more enjoyable... | 0:05:31 | 0:05:33 | |
-..and take away the pain -for some women. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-So there's no need to suffer. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |
-After the menopause, there can be -some unexpected sex-related issues. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:45 | |
-More older women go to sexually -transmitted disease clinics. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:52 | |
-It's very interesting -to hear older women's stories... | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
-..at sexually transmitted -disease clinics. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
-They found themselves in situations -where they had unprotected sex... | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-..and were shocked to hear they had -a sexually transmitted disease. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-Post-menopausal women aren't going -to think about sexual disease. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-They don't think -about using condoms either. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
-In the STD clinics... | 0:06:19 | 0:06:21 | |
-..we see more -post-menopausal women... | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
-..because they didn't think -they were at risk. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:31 | |
-They also tend to go -with younger men... | 0:06:32 | 0:06:35 | |
-..and as result, dip into the pool -of sexually transmitted disease. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-We've found that the risk of HIV is -higher for post-menopausal women... | 0:06:43 | 0:06:48 | |
-..because the vagina has changed. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:52 | |
-The skin is thinner and the virus -is more likely to enter the body... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:59 | |
-..when practising unsafe sex. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:01 | |
-But it's a fact -that older women have sex. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
-We have to make sure -they get the best care available. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:09 | |
-Pupils are taught about -sex and diseases in schools. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:18 | |
-But should they also -be taught about the menopause? | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
-We don't do Biology -in the Sixth Form. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
-We don't hear about it in the lower -years. It might be important. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:32 | |
-It is. Every woman will -have it at some time in life. | 0:07:32 | 0:07:37 | |
-We have to learn about these things. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
-It'd be useful to know. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:42 | |
-Obviously, a mother -or grandmother goes through it. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
-We should understand -what's going on. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
-We should be educated -about it at home too. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:54 | |
-Maybe Mam should tell me -about it, when I'm older. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
-Maybe it isn't as important -for us at our age. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
-They teach things -that are relevant to us. | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
-If we were taught about it now, -people might worry. | 0:08:05 | 0:08:09 | |
-It won't happen for some time. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-It'd be nice if it was -on the curriculum. | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
-Women could go to schools to discuss -it and explain what happens. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
-This is what your mothers -or grandmothers are experiencing. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:28 | |
-Children could discuss it openly. | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
-When teaching about the body and -the differences between the sexes... | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
-..it's important to discuss -the changes that occur... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-..at different ages. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:47 | |
-I certainly wouldn't oppose teaching -young people about these changes. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:53 | |
-But I don't think -they'd be very interested. | 0:08:53 | 0:08:57 | |
-It isn't relevant -to them at their age. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:01 | |
-Because it's a process, -not an event... | 0:09:01 | 0:09:04 | |
-..it can be very difficult to -discuss and give precise details... | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
-..about how something will be. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-It's an individual -experience in many ways. | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
-I can understand why the menopause -isn't given as much attention... | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
-..compared to much more -specific events in women's lives. | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-I'd like to ask a question. | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
-If we go through the menopause... | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-..do animals go through it? | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-Oh! Good question. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:47 | |
-From my research, -only three kinds of animals... | 0:09:48 | 0:09:51 | |
-..go through what -we'd recognize as the menopause. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:55 | |
-We, human women... | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
-..pilot whales... | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
-..and orcas. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:03 | |
-There might be more, of course. -Not enough research has been done. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:08 | |
-Most mammals die soon after -losing the ability to reproduce. | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-But whales, as we do, live for -many years after losing fertility. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
-Why? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:22 | |
-No-one is sure. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
-We could dedicate -a whole programme just to whales. | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
-We'll return to the human -race after the adverts... | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
-..and discuss -early menopause and men. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:40 | |

-Most people know that men can -produce children all their lives. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:56 | |
-They create sperm all their lives. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:58 | |
-But women are born -with all the eggs in the body. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-They can't create any more. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:06 | |
-A time comes when -there are no more eggs. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-That is the menopause. | 0:11:09 | 0:11:11 | |
-Older people get it, don't they? | 0:11:14 | 0:11:17 | |
-It'll make you ill, dizzy and weak. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:19 | |
-You're hot and you sweat. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:22 | |
-It's gross. I suffered -for 18 months without medication. | 0:11:23 | 0:11:27 | |
-In the end, I had to have it. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:29 | |
-Mam's going through it -and she's suffering. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
-I'm dreading it. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:36 | |
-You know you're getting old -when things like that stop. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:43 | |
-No more children, nothing. | 0:11:43 | 0:11:45 | |
-It's scary. -I'm frightened of being old. | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
-It's never-ending. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:51 | |
-I know 60-year-olds who are -still going through the menopause. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:56 | |
-When did it happen to you? | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
-I was young. I was 39. | 0:11:59 | 0:12:03 | |
-I knew what it was. | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
-The doctors didn't believe me -because I was so young. | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
-They sent me to have a blood test, -and that's what it was. | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
-I was shocked. -I'd never heard about it. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-My 42-year-old daughter -is going through it. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:24 | |
-It's assumed the menopause... | 0:12:26 | 0:12:29 | |
-..happens to women in their -late forties, early fifties. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
-There are a number of reasons -why it can happen much earlier. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:38 | |
-Some women are very young... | 0:12:41 | 0:12:43 | |
-..when their ovaries -stop producing hormones. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-There's usually no explanation. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:51 | |
-Chemotherapy and radiotherapy -can damage the ovaries... | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
-..and bring on an early menopause. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-Ovaries can heal. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:01 | |
-A woman's age and -levels of cancer treatments... | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
-..can cause permanent damage. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
-A hysterectomy -can bring on the menopause. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-Once the ovaries are removed... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:15 | |
-..the menopause will start -regardless of how old you are. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:19 | |
-You will be offered HRT -to relieve the symptoms. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
-Young women can have menopausal -symptoms for no apparent reason. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
-They're too young to suspect -what's happening to them. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:32 | |
-Sian Jones is 56. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-She suffered menopausal symptoms -in her early thirties. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:41 | |
-I wasn't aware that I was -going through the menopause. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:45 | |
-There's no starting point. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-I felt different. -I couldn't talk to anyone about it. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
-I didn't know if it -was the menopause... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
-..or if I had a serious illness. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
-Some people describe the menopause -as a terrible illness. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:04 | |
-I wasn't sure -what the symptoms were. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:08 | |
-I didn't understand them -and didn't know who to turn to. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:13 | |
-It started -when I was in my thirties. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
-I desperately wanted a child. | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
-The doctor said -that due to different factors... | 0:14:23 | 0:14:27 | |
-..it was unlikely I'd have a child. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
-An early menopause wasn't mentioned. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:36 | |
-To be honest... | 0:14:37 | 0:14:38 | |
-..all I registered -was not being able to have children. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:43 | |
-Menopausal symptoms -were responsible. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:48 | |
-It was the early menopause. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:51 | |
-I felt depressed... | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-..and worthless. | 0:14:56 | 0:14:59 | |
-I was alternately hot and cold. | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
-I felt like crying... | 0:15:04 | 0:15:06 | |
-..if someone was nice to me -or horrible to me. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
-Everything was too much. | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-Happily, and almost miraculously... | 0:15:15 | 0:15:18 | |
-..Sian became pregnant -and gave birth to Lisa. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
-Anyone can become pregnant -during the menopause. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-It's only after it's over -that a woman is infertile. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:30 | |
-The symptoms returned -quite soon for Sian. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
-After I had Lisa... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-..I began having more symptoms. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-It affected my eyes, too. | 0:15:42 | 0:15:44 | |
-When Lisa went through school... | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
-..and become a woman herself... | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
-..my menopausal symptoms worsened. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-If I wanted to put -a cup on the table... | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
-..I couldn't see where it should go. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:02 | |
-I was confused. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-I knew something serious -was going on. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
-The last time I saw my doctor... | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
-..he explained perhaps -it was menopausal symptoms. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
-Everything was clear -and I felt much better. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
-After years of suffering symptoms... | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
-..I want to talk about it. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-There is an end to it. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:34 | |
-It gets better. There was a time -when I felt it would never end. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:40 | |
-We failed to get a single man -to appear on the series. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:52 | |
-We've chatted to a few -on the street. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-No-one agreed to be interviewed. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
-It affects them, too. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
-The woman, or women in their lives, -are going through a major change. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:08 | |
-Most of us carry on -without too much trouble. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:13 | |
-It doesn't affect our partners. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:17 | |
-Men are not ready to discuss... | 0:17:17 | 0:17:20 | |
-..women having hot flushes -and going through the menopause... | 0:17:20 | 0:17:25 | |
-..in the workplace. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:28 | |
-We should be able to do that. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
-In fairness, -my husband has been supportive. | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
-He understood -what I was going through. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:40 | |
-But in general, -men don't want to know. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
-They don't know anything about it, -or about our symptoms. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:50 | |
-I often think -if a man had to go through this... | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
-..there would be menopause clubs -in every city and village. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
-There would be a parliamentary -debate. Something would be done. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:09 | |
-Men would get together -to compare symptoms. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:13 | |
-It would be like a cycling club -for men in lycra. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:18 | |
-These menopausal men... | 0:18:18 | 0:18:21 | |
-..would have special caps... | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
-...and say, -"My hot flush lasted seven minutes!" | 0:18:24 | 0:18:28 | |
-Men can't cope with pain or change. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-If men gave birth... | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
-..they'd only have one child. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:39 | |
-"Seven minutes!" | 0:18:42 | 0:18:43 | |
-Men don't understand the menopause. | 0:18:44 | 0:18:46 | |
-Having said that... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
-..I'm sure men go through -the menopause in their own way. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
-I often think my male colleagues -are going through the menopause. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:02 | |
-I'm sure there's a male menopause. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-I reckon my husband went through it. | 0:19:05 | 0:19:07 | |
-Men have a midlife crisis. -Women do, too, but it's mostly men. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:15 | |
-They might buy a sports car. -Younger model and all this palaver. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
-I'm sure it's their menopause. -But they get away with it. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:27 | |
-They go out to the shed. That's -where their menopause takes place. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:33 | |
-They become fussier. | 0:19:34 | 0:19:37 | |
-That's what it is. They get on my -nerves because they fuss so much. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:43 | |
-"Ah, mid-life crisis. -He'll calm down." | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
-Is there such a thing -as the male menopause? | 0:19:52 | 0:19:56 | |
-Right! | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
-I don't know. | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
-It's not the same. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-Testosterone is a male hormone. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
-It lowers gradually. | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
-It's later for men. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
-Men can have children -in their seventies... | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
-..for instance Charlie Chaplin. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
-It happens later... | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
-..and more gradually. | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-Perhaps men feel it, and that there -are psychological side-effects. | 0:20:24 | 0:20:30 | |
-They want to buy fast cars. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
-It's more to do -with their day to day lives... | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
-..than a sudden hormonal change. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:40 | |
-The testosterone level -doesn't take a dive. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
-No. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:46 | |
-Right. It's all up here. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-Right. It's all up here. - -For men?! | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
-After middle age... | 0:20:54 | 0:20:56 | |
-..physical strength -begins to decline. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:02 | |
-People have reached -the pinnacle of their careers. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:08 | |
-They see youngsters overtaking them. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:13 | |
-This is the time when men -take stock of their lives. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
-They look at their achievements... | 0:21:18 | 0:21:21 | |
-..and feel -that their time is running out. | 0:21:21 | 0:21:25 | |
-It's the same sort of feeling, -of being past one's best. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:29 | |
-This can lead -to a mid-life crisis. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:33 | |
-Perhaps they'll behave in -a manner that's out of character. | 0:21:34 | 0:21:39 | |
-It's important to look -at men's experiences... | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
-..how they grow old or how -they feel society is treating them. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
-No, it isn't the same menopause -that women go through. | 0:21:50 | 0:21:55 | |
-It's a time of reflection -and change. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
-I've enjoyed doing the series. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
-I had no idea at first. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:15 | |
-It scares me how little I knew... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
-..and how little -everyone I met knew. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:25 | |
-The main thing I'll remember is... | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
-..that there's no need -to worry about the menopause. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
-I can say with honesty... | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
-..that I'm looking forward -to life after the menopause. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
-I want to be like the women -I've talked to. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:50 | |
-They're happy in their own skin. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:54 | |
-It's that feeling of relief. | 0:22:54 | 0:22:58 | |
-Stuff you. I don't care what you -think of me. I'm me. And that's it! | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
