Overview

• The book, titled "Jetzt schon? Wie ich früh in die Wechseljahre kam und was ich gerne darüber gewusst hätte," is now available in German.
• Across roughly 250 pages, Watts combines her story with scientific insights and accounts from other women.
• She recounts stigma surrounding women’s health, misreading early symptoms of perimenopause, and initially receiving little help from doctors, prompting her own research.
• Official guidance cited in the book notes the NHS typical menopause age of 45–55, while the German Menopause Society defines premature menopause before 40 and estimates about one percent are affected.
• Coverage situates the release within a wider cultural shift that includes recent discussions by figures such as Miranda July and Michelle Obama.
