What Is Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause?Musculoskeletal syndrome of menopause (MSM) refers to joint pain, muscle aches, and other musculoskeletal issues that many women experience during perimenopause and menopause. These symptoms are caused by hormonal changes, particularly the decline in estrogen levels.

🚨 Attention Ladies! 🚨 Did you know that over half of Australia’s 12.9 million women are over 39? Genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects over 50% of perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. That’s around 3.2 million women experiencing symptoms like vulvovaginal atrophy and low libido, causing significant distress. Despite the impact on sexual health, quality of life, and daily activities, more than 60% of women with GSM don’t discuss their symptoms with their GP. Even more concerning, only 6% to 7% of the patients are receiving treatment. Let’s break the silence and raise awareness. Your health matters! 💪💗
