      <video:description>SWAN, 862 women: bone loss began about 1 year before the final period. In the study&apos;s model for a reference woman, the spine lost about 10.6% over 10 years, 7.38% of it in the 3 years around the final period. Loss varied by body size and ethnicity.</video:description>

      <video:description>63% of 330 women with confirmed heavy periods had been diagnosed with low iron or anaemia. In a trial of non-anaemic women with unexplained fatigue, iron eased fatigue 29% vs 13% on placebo; in a subgroup analysis, only women with ferritin of 50 µg/L or less improved.</video:description>

      <video:description>In the placebo groups of hormone-therapy trials pooled in a Cochrane review, hot flash frequency fell 57.7% from start to end. That is why a remedy has to beat a dummy pill. The 2023 Menopause Society position statement sorts which non-hormone options have evidence.</video:description>

      <video:description>Three things women are often told in perimenopause, set against what the evidence says: it can start in your mid-30s; over 45, it&apos;s usually identified from symptoms and period changes rather than hormone tests; and frequent hot flashes lasted a median of 7.4 years in SWAN.</video:description>

      <video:description>Frozen shoulder most often strikes between ages 40 and 60, and in women more than men. Whether menopause-related hormone changes play a part is still being studied, so new shoulder pain or stiffness is worth a check.</video:description>

      <video:title>Nobody Told Me: Lost Words</video:title>
      <video:description>Nobody told me losing words mid-sentence could be perimenopause. In a study that followed 2,362 women for about 4 years, average learning gains on memory tests stalled in perimenopause, then returned after menopause. Memory changes that persist or worsen deserve a check.</video:description>

      <video:title>Nobody Told Me: Sudden Rage</video:title>
      <video:description>Nobody told me sudden rage could be perimenopause. The NHS lists mood swings and low mood among perimenopause symptoms, and notes poor sleep can leave you irritable. Stress, other health conditions and medicines can cause these changes too.</video:description>

      <video:title>Estrogen does more than you think</video:title>
      <video:description>One hormone, at least five body systems. Across studies, muscle or joint pain was reported by 40% of women before perimenopause and 57% during it, and persistent mood symptoms rise from 8–12% to 14.9–18.4%.</video:description>

      <video:description>40–60% of menopausal women report sleep problems. Women with moderate to severe hot flashes are almost 3× as likely to wake often at night as women without them.</video:description>
