I think you will enjoy this podcast I did on managing menopause with menopause hormone therapy with my friend and colleague, Dr Jaclyn Smeaton.
In this episode Dr. Smeaton and I discuss menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and its resurgence in recent years. Dr. Hudson explains that MHT may be recommended for women experiencing significant quality of life symptoms related to perimenopause or menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, fatigue, and low libido.
Dr. Hudson and Dr. Smeaton also discuss:
- The initial concerns raised by the 2002 Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) study
- The re-examination of the WHI study, which found that the risks associated with MHT are relatively small and comparable to other lifestyle factors
- Bioidentical hormones versus synthetic hormones
- The significance of finding providers with expertise in menopause management
- The importance of individualized treatment plans
I hope you learn and enjoy.
