Reporting preview

A common symptom of the menopause is a hot flush

Partners of women going through the menopause are being invited to experience one of the symptoms at a forthcoming support event.

At the Menopaus'ull Support Network event in Hull next month, health group Over The Bloody Moon will be taking one of its MenoVests, allowing people to experience a hot flush – one of the symptoms of the menopause.

Sarah Weichardt, who co-manages the project, said: "We're particularly interested in getting men along to come and experience the MenoVest, just so that they can understand what women go through."

The event will be at Princes Quay shopping centre on 17 October, from 10:30 until 14:30 BST.
