The numbers tell a story, but they don’t tell the whole story.

In our Sexual Health Survey, the proportion of women reporting painful penetrative s*x increased across the menopausal transition:

23.5% premenopause → 37.5% perimenopause → 50% postmenopause.

But behind these percentages are women navigating pain that can affect intimacy, confidence, relationships, and everyday wellbeing.

Findings like these remind us why menopause research needs attention and funding. We need to understand what the wider implications are of painful s*x so women can be better supported.

This graph is just one part of our wider survey. Read the full report and explore the findings with us. 👉https://mref.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/MREF-Booklet-2.pdf

Sometimes, the most valuable thing a pharmacist can offer is not just an answer, but the confidence to have a better conversation.

Menopause can affect far more than symptoms. It can influence long-term health, wellbeing, relationships and working life. Yet there is still so much we need to learn through good, evidence-based research.

Join us online for Menopause for Pharmacists: A Complete Guide and build your knowledge with practical, evidence-based learning you can take into your everyday practice.

Sometimes, one number can make you pause.

In this snapshot from our Sexual Health Survey, 537 women shared their experiences across premenopause, perimenopause, and postmenopause. Among them, 62.7% said painful s*x had a moderate-to-severe impact on their s*x life. But the impact didn't stop there. Read the MREF report to see how it impacts mental and emotional health.

We invite you to read the full report and see what actions are needed to improve care for all. 👉https://mref.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/MREF-Booklet-2.pdf

Listening matters

What happens when we listen to the experiences that are hardest to talk about?

This survey is giving women an opportunity to share their experiences of suicidal thoughts during perimenopause and post-menopause, including what they felt, where they sought help, and what made a difference.

Led by Diane Danzebrink from Menopause Support, psychiatrist Dr Sophie Behrman, and the MREF's Fiona Clark, this work aims to help fill an important gap in menopause and mental health research.

Because lived experience matters. And research matters.

If this survey reflects your experience, we’d be grateful if you would consider taking part if you feel you are able to do so.

What does good menopause support look like when someone walks into a pharmacy with questions they’ve been carrying for months?

Sometimes, it starts with having the right knowledge, the confidence to have a conversation, and access to evidence-based information.

Our Menopause 101 for Pharmacists learning event is an opportunity to strengthen that foundation while helping fund the research we still urgently need to understand menopause and its long-term impact on women’s health.

Breaking the silence

Some conversations are difficult. That doesn’t mean we should avoid them.

Menopause and mental health are deeply connected, yet we still need more evidence to understand what some women experience during the menopause transition, including suicidal thoughts.

Diane Danzebrink of Menopause Support and Dr Sophie Behrman of the Royal College of Psychiatrists have joined Menopause Research & Education Fund (MREF) to explore this important, understudied area.

If you have experienced suicidal thoughts during perimenopause or post-menopause, we invite you to share your experience through our anonymous survey. We understand this may be triggering for some people, so please only take part if you feel you are able. And remember there are emergency support services who can support you if you need help. In the UK, call the NHS on 111 or Samaritans on 116123, or your local equivalent.

Your voice can help build the evidence needed for better understanding, better support, and better research.

Take part: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/ZRSRLMN

The survey is open to people across the globe, and if you need support, please refer to your local support agencies.

We need to listen.

There are some conversations we wish we did not have to have, but they are important.

Menopause and suicidal thoughts are among them.

Diane Danzebrink of Menopause Support, Sophie Behrman, a psychiatrist with a special interest in mental health and menopause, and Fiona Clark of the Menopause Research and Education Fund (MREF) have created a survey to better understand these experiences so we can deliver better care for those who are struggling.

We believe we need to listen to people's real experiences and invest in evidence-based research to understand menopause and its effects on mental health properly.

If you have experienced suicidal thoughts during perimenopause or after menopause, we would really value your voice. We understand this could be distressing for some people, so please only take part if you feel you can. And remember there is support available at: NHS 111 Call 111 – 24 hours every day, or via your local support organisations if you are outside of the UK.

Samaritans – for everyone
Call 116 123

At some point, a patient may ask you about menopause.

Maybe it’s about symptoms. Maybe it’s about treatment. Or maybe they simply want someone to listen and explain what’s happening.

Those conversations can be easier when you have current, evidence-based information to draw on.

Our Menopause 101 Education Course is designed for Healthcare Professionals and Allied HCPs, with 16 modules covering up-to-date guidance from BMS-accredited menopause specialists and a pelvic floor physiotherapist.

Join us online on 26 November, 9 am–5 pm, with on-demand access available afterwards.

Your £20 registration also contributes to menopause research, helping support the evidence we still need to understand menopause and improve care.

If menopause comes up in your work, this could be a valuable day to make time for. ➡️ https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/menopause-101-for-healthcare-professional-and-allied-hcps-tickets-2000622894934?aff=oddtdtcreator
