Gaining a better understanding of perimenopause and menopause
Nearly half of women seeking help for menopause symptoms are already experiencing clinically significant distress by the time they ask for support, according to a recent national benchmark report released by Metluma.
The 2026 Australian Menopause Experience Report, based on insights from 1,468 women using Metluma’s UMA40 assessment tool, found 43% triggered at least one clinical red flag at baseline (referral to a doctor within 24-48 hours), with more than one in five presenting with multiple red flags linked to more complex symptom burden.
