Viewers loved Davina McCall's menopause documentary last night and here's why DavinaMenopause
is the time leading up to your period stopping, and through the documentary survey, we learn that sleeplessness, lack of libido and anxiety are just some of the symptoms that affect people going through the menopause. As McCall outlines in the documentary, though, understanding around the perimenopause is still not at its best. Even a search through the NHS website brings up other related search terms but there’s no existing page about the perimenopause.
Since airing, one of the most enlightening stories of the documentary was the focus on breast cancer, HRT medication and medically induced menopause. Her medically induced menopause happened at such a young and unexpected age that she often felt disoriented at the diagnosis. She chose to document her treatment with comic illustrations, which show the journey of someone lost in the world.
She says: “I was kind of so annoyed at all women. For the fact that the menopause is so common, it’s everywhere. Yet, when I stepped into the menopause world, there was nothing and I was like ‘Well, what’s everyone else been doing?’It’s something that McCall agrees with and can only apologise for. It’s the feeling of being “ashamed”, she explains, for many women.
