How menopause affects women with learning disabilities is a neglected area of research. Women with learning disabilities experience the same physiological effects of the menopause as others, including hot flushes and night sweats, but difficulties in understanding and communication mean that additional supports are often required. They are less likely to report the psychological difficulties or symptoms associated with menopause than women in the general population. Menopause is usually earlier in women with learning disability and earlier still for those with Down's syndrome. Debate about hormone replacement therapy often ignores the needs of women with learning disabilities who, as a result, are very often excluded from the decision-making process. Physical problems among women with learning disabilities and other aspects of ageing warrant particular focus.
