An SCI Woman’s Journey: Menopause and the SCI woman

Our Spinal Injury Team hosted a series of free Women’s Health webinars in partnership with the Spinal Injuries Association. The series was called from “Menstruation to Menopause a SCI women’s journey” and as part of that issues of puberty, sex, parenting, ageing and the menopause were discussed.

The aim was to provide SCI women with information that is sadly often lacking within their rehabilitation journey and also to break the silence surrounding these topics which are frequently, incorrectly, seen as embarrassing or ‘taboo’.

In this session we looked at Menopause and the SCI Woman with Dr Sucheta Iyengar, MRCOG, MA (Ed), Consultant Obstetrics and Gynaecology Specialist in Menopause Care.
