81. Why you have NOT failed for seeking treatment at menopause.

70-80% of women have bothersome symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, and painful intercourse. This is a significant percent of the population, and symptoms last on average 5-7 years. Most women feel that they have “failed” if they need to resort to treating their symptoms with medications, yet it is this message itself that is failing women. In this episode, Dr. Hirsch sets the record straight on why you have NOT failed for seeking help at menopause, and specifically if you decide to start on hormone therapy. She also discussed the dangers that occur to women when they continue to “stick it out” despite bothersome symptoms and reductions in quality of life. This episode is a must-listen for women in menopause who are considering hormone therapy or other treatments for menopause. MORE ON DR.
