Why is menopause so varied?

Menopause is a natural biological process, but its timing and symptoms vary greatly among individuals due to genetics, lifestyle, and other health factors. Some women experience severe symptoms, while others have few. This variability underscores why specialists like Dr Naomi Potter emphasise that HRT care should be tailored to each person's unique needs and circumstances.
