 | DAISY NETWORK |
The Daisy Network (previously known as the Daisy Chain) is a support group
for women suffering PREMATURE MENOPAUSE - that is, a menopause before the
age of 40. This condition affects 1% of women. In Britain currently,
approximately 110,000 women between the ages of 12 and 40 are experiencing
premature menopause. Premature menopause (also known as Premature Ovarian Failure) describes the
process by which the ovaries cease to produce eggs. This process is
characterised by high levels of FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and
luteinising hormone, and low levels of oestrogen and progesterone. This
condition raises many issues including the effect on the woman's physical
health, her fertility and psychological well-being.
