NEARLY seven in 10 menopausal women face discrimination at work, a survey has found.

A poll of over 2,000 people conducted by Forth, a hormone-testing company, found that just 69 per cent believed women were subject to workplace discrimination due to the menopause. 

Broken down by gender, it rose to 74 per cent for women and 64 per cent for men, the research found.
