What is crash menopause?

Some cancer treatments can affect your hormones and trigger menopause symptoms or an early menopause.

Symptoms can be more intense than during natural menopause because your hormone levels drop very quickly.

Menopause is still often considered a taboo topic. But knowing what to expect and how to manage the symptoms and health implications of menopause can hugely improve your quality of life.
