Women suffering through the hot flushes, night sweats, mood changes and sleep problems that can come with menopause \u2013 all while looking in the mirror and noticing signs of ageing \u2013 are being bombarded with products.<\/p>\n

More open conversations about menopause and the time leading up to it \u2013 called perimenopause<\/span> \u2013 are happening just as social media has supercharged marketing.<\/div>\n

Women are being confronted by lotions, serums and light masks that promise to rejuvenate their faces and necks, dietary supplements claiming to boost moods and ease hot flushes, and gadgets promising to help with symptoms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe marketing has gotten very, very aggressive. It\u2019s pervasive,\u201d says Dr Nanette Santoro, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Colorado Anschutz in the US.<\/p>\n

Santoro and other doctors say that before spending lots of money on products that make big promises, it is important for women to talk to their doctors about what has actually been proven to help \u2013 and what could be harmful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really pays to be very, very, very sceptical,\u201d Santoro says.<\/p>\n
