Together in Surgical Menopause
Welcome to Together in Surgical Menopause. We are a patient led, fact based resource for those who are either experiencing or would like to learn about surgical menopause.
So frustrated by our own difficulties in receiving timely and up to date support, we decided to create this website and support community in the hope that it will offer useful information and advice, along with reassurance that you’re not alone in this, we’re right behind you.
