Early menopause

Menopause is a natural process that women go through as they get older. It means that they are no longer able to have children because of changes to their fertility.

Some cancer treatments can make women start menopause earlier (early menopause). These treatments can stop your ovaries from making eggs for a while or forever.

Some people may only have short term infertility when your menstruation (period) stops or is less regular.

There are support and treatment options to help you with early menopause. Ask your health care team for more information.
