Managing Menopause: Overview of Symptoms, Update on Therapies

[liz]

Thank you for this educational speech. I'm 58 and healthy, last period two years ago. So, I've wasted two years of my life so far because my doc didn't want to prescribe HRT due to the fear of breast cancer. So, I started researching. I've decided to consult another doc and start HRT. I hope it's not too late to reverse the symptoms, and prevent the diseases associated to estrogen deficiency. Thank you very much from Argentina.

I’m 48 and been taking bio identical HRT for six weeks. It has changed my life.

Thank you for sharing this presentation. It was really interesting and I feel personally more informed about what’s ahead and the options available.

Thank you Dr. Macaulay for this information! Especially was interested in the slide, "Where we are now", and will discuss this information with my team of healthcare professionals. NICE PRESENTATION!

Guess what your employer can discriminate against you because you are being affected by menopause. Don't let them get away with this! This needs to be addressed in Employment issues!

Excellent presentation!  Very thorough review of menopause.

Seven years after this talk was released, and we know a LOT more about HRT, especially long term use. Just because the FDA thinks we should use HRT only for short-term management of perimenpausal symptoms (a group probably made up of men, ugh) does not mean that we should do that only. We now have research and proof that HRT can and should be used primarily for prevention of diseases and illnesses that are mainly caused by the lack of estrogen and progesterone in women, namely heart disease of all kinds, dementia of all kinds, osteoporosis (all life-threatening illnesses with serious disability associated with them), and for maintenance of female genitourinary tract health. Estrogen affects every tissue in the body, so if your body needs it, don't just squirt it on the skin or vulva. Take it so it goes into the bloodstream and reaches every part of your body that needs it. Long-term use of individualized HRT is now considered to be safe. Many GYNs plan THEMSELVES to take it indefinitely, and I'm talking into their 70's and 80's and beyond.

This woman has no problem at all harming her patient by not treating them for future disease.

28:20 hormone therapy randomised controlled trials results

51:15 bio ‘identical’ or bio similar hormone therapy

What about treatment for osteoporosis without hormone therapy as mentioned at the beginning of the talk?

Does anyone get swollen thyroid due to menopause? and how to treat it? Thank you.

Why is a young, non menopausal woman discussing menopause? What does know about it outside of the books she's read?

[adams]

Great information. Thank you. I am 38 yrs old I had a full hysterectomy in 2012 and recently went for my annual obgyn also a blood test, I was not surprised my levels are dramatically lower than the recommended levels. I felt like I was going insane while on fire!!! I am going to start BHRT in 48 hours (that is typically how long it takes a compound pharmacy to create a individuals mixture) but I still have major concerns about any treatment. However, I need a clear mind and controlled symptoms to be effective in my research for what is best for me and my daughter, when she starts her life change. My best advice thus far is Mediation, Yoga, healthy eating, and positive affirmations/visualization. Also, it is very important to take the right supplements and at minimum 8 glasses of water daily. These are just my suggestion, clearly I am not a Healthcare provider, merely a struggling mid-age adult trying to find what works for me.

Very good information for women and help them understand a lot about menopause. What things should we use together. estrogen progesteron testosterone. And what should we not use together? Big questions and this lady explains it very well

[veronicabharwani]

So a quick overview of this thorough explanation pretty much boils down to women being COMPLETELY FUCKED after the age of 40. Meanwhile men are going through a midlife crises and want to reverse everything, look young, maybe drive a sports car, change exterior appearance, start working out....during this time the wife is practically starting her decline so what happens?? Obviously men become distant, annoyed which ultimately leads to CHEATING! Thank you God. Can't really admire you on this equation. 🤦🏻‍♀️😪
