Is talking about the menopause a taboo?

The menopause is something that happens to every woman so why is it something we talk about so little?

A new documentary takes an unflinching look at everything to do with the menopause and asks whether women who suffer severe side effects have been needlessly denied hormone replacement therapy for years.

Joanna discussed the issues surrounding menopause and HRT with Newsnight presenter Kirsty Wark, Professor Janice Rymer from the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists and Professor Klim McPherson. She also heard from Diane Danzebrink and Julie Chandler who have both been through the menopause.
