Ruth Langsford has shared details of the moment she realised she needed help managing the symptoms of the menopause. The presenter was chatting about the topic on Loose Women on Tuesday (April 26).
She discussed that it was a moment with her son Jack that prompted her to begin hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatment.
