Despite the fact that all women who reach a certain age will 100% go into menopause, no one needs to suffer through this transition. The process can seem mysterious to many women, leaving them wondering if they are perimenopausal or in menopause. And then, many women suffer through Peri/menopause because they don’t know the facts, how to get help or know where resources are to optimize their health, wellbeing and happiness during this transition.
Menopause is a global public health topic that requires greater awareness. Many women in the US, and around the world, lack information about menopause symptoms and treatment options, and even the most educated healthcare providers may not be adequately trained to manage menopausal care. More and more, patients are referred to us by primary care providers (PCP) who know that they aren’t specialists in menopause care and that their patient needs help. But oftentimes the patients we see have talked to a PCP or general practitioner about menopause and were told it was simply a normal part of the aging process, and eventually things would get better. Thankfully our patients kept looking for support and found us. But we know there are scores of women that don’t, and they’re left on their own, struggling and suffering.
While we’re hopefully that a day will come where menopause treatment is as common as monitoring your blood pressure, for now we’re doing our part to help women in this region gain access to the resources and solutions that can help them thrive through this transition.
Seeking support from healthcare professionals, loved ones, and community resources can empower women to manage menopause effectively and maintain their physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. If you’re looking for support leading up to and during menopause, we’d love the opportunity to talk you through our approach and to be part of your wellness team.
