Surgical menopause patient booklet
Surgical Menopause: Making Informed Choices, Preparing for Surgery & Recovery. A Guide for Women Considering Ovary Removal & Navigating Life Afterward” is a complete, printable guide covering preparation, recovery, symptom management, and resources for ongoing support.
This booklet is the guide we wish we had when we were faced with surgery. Created through countless hours of dedication, generosity, and care, it’s a labor of love born from the belief that everyone deserves access to accurate, practical, and compassionate information – regardless of their ability to pay.
As this is the first version, we welcome your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions. Your feedback will help us continue improving this resource and make it even more helpful for everyone navigating surgical menopause. Please share your comments with us at info@surgicalmenopause.org.nz.
If you’d like to help us reach more people, you can learn more about our campaign to print and distribute the booklet across New Zealand here: Givealittle Campaign.

Poster & trifold
We’ve created a poster and trifold to help raise awareness about surgical menopause and support those navigating this transition. They provide clear, accessible information on the essentials of surgical menopause, and are designed to be shared in clinics, workplaces, community spaces, or online.
These materials let people know they are not alone and that help is available. By sharing them, you can help start important conversations and connect more people with the guidance and support they need.
