World Menopause and Andropause Day is celebrated annually on 18 October. The event was established by the World Health Organisation (WHO), as well as the International Menopause Society (IMS). The established holiday is intended to serve as a reminder, as well as to raise awareness of menopause in both women and men. On this special day, the public is made aware of the irreversible changes and consequences that occur in the human body as a result of the ageing process.
