This year, the International Menopause Society (IMS) is highlighting Chronic Pain at Midlife, drawing attention to the need for better recognition, research, and evidence-based care for women experiencing chronic pain during and after the menopause transition.
As part of its 2026 World Menopause Day campaign, IMS has developed a range of resources for healthcare professionals, women, and the wider community, including its annual White Paper, factsheet, and educational materials. Resources are available in multiple languages to support menopause awareness and care around the world.

Developed by an international writing group, the recommendations bring together the latest evidence across 30 areas of midlife and menopause care, including lifestyle, vasomotor symptoms, cardiometabolic and bone health, sexual wellbeing, and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM).
