A senate inquiry into menopause and perimenopause will deliver its report this week -- after hearing from hundreds of women about misdiagnosis, family breakdowns and a crippling mental health toll. Almost 300 submissions came from regional women, who are pushing for better menopause awareness and services after generations of silence and stigma. Toowoomba endocrinologist Dr Sheila Cook says limited access to medications and a lack of regional GPs make it difficult to get the right treatment.
