The menopause is something half the world\\u2019s population goes through. But despite this, it\\u2019s still not much talked about - and in some places, remains taboo.

Which means many women hit this stage of life not understanding what\\u2019s happening to them.

We join a menopause cafe where people share experiences face-to-face, try out an app giving Indian women practical advice, and hear about workshops in Argentina where women learn how to replace expensive menopause products with cheaper items like coconut oil.

Presenter: Myra Anubi\\nReporters: Ann Hepburn and Claire Bates\\nSeries producer: Tom Colls\\nSound mix: Gareth Jones\\nEditor: Penny Murphy
