What are the financial implications of menopause?

Menopause can have various financial implications that many women may not consider. The symptoms associated with menopause, such as stress, anxiety, or health issues, might lead to increased healthcare costs, including visits to the GP and potential treatments. Additionally, some women may take time off work due to severe symptoms, leading to loss of income. There may also be expenses related to products like HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) or other treatments. Planning ahead and discussing these implications with a financial advisor can help you manage any unexpected costs during this transition.
