Marvin OnumonuHealix Health saw a 77% rise in menopause-related claims among women in their 30s in 2025, compared with the year before.
Data found claims for women in their 50s increased by 29%.
Gender-specific health benefits usage rose 16% year-on-year, with 87% of usage coming from women, mostly aged 30-49.
This comes as the Government is set to bring in new workplace menopause action plans for employers with 250 or more staff.
Voluntary action plans will be published from April 2026, with a mandatory framework planned for spring 2027, subject to secondary legislation.
The guidance includes manager training, occupational health support, workplace adjustments and menopause-specific policies.
Keira Wallis, head of clinical operations at Healix Health, said: “More women coming forward for support is a positive sign, but rising claims also show that this demand has been building over time.
“What stands out is that this isn’t limited to one age group.
“We’re seeing increases among women in their thirties as well as in their fifties, which shows it’s not just an issue for later in life, but something affecting women much earlier in their careers as well.”
Wallis added: “For employers, the challenge now is less about awareness and more about access. Having policies in place is one thing, but women need to know where to go, feel confident using the support available, and be able to access it seamlessly.
“That means clear pathways into care, well-informed managers, and support that reflects the full range of women’s health needs, rather than treating menopause as a standalone issue.”
