SUMMARY:Exploring the Impact of Menopause on Women's Health
DESCRIPTION:Each day\, about 6\,000 American women reach menopause\, the biological process defined as the final menstrual period\, marking the end of menstruation and fertility. This transition typically occurs when women are in their 40s or 50s and is characterized by a significant decrease in estrogen. \nThis estrogen depletion can cause vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats as well as genital and urinary symptoms. These symptoms can last several years for some women\, drastically affecting their quality of life. Women also have increased risks of other health conditions following menopause\, such as cardiovascular disease\, cognitive decline\, osteoporosis\, skin issues\, and insomnia. For example\, the drop in estrogen associated with menopause has a direct relationship with the development of osteoporosis. \nDespite the vast number of women affected by these menopause-related symptoms and health issues\, treatment options — especially non-hormonal ones — remain few. Increased education is also greatly needed for both patients and clinicians to promote awareness of symptom management as well as the increased health risks associated with menopause. To explore these issues further\, SWHR is convening a diverse\, interdisciplinary group of basic and clinical researchers\, health care providers\, patients/patient advocates\, and thought leaders for a closed roundtable meeting to discuss the impact of menopause on women’s health.

SUMMARY:Don't Sweat Menopause: How to Improve Care for Women
DESCRIPTION:Each day\, thousands of American women reach menopause\, when their menstrual cycles permanently cease. The natural menopausal transition leading up to this point typically occurs when women are in their 40s or 50s. However\, some women will experience menopause earlier in life after undergoing surgery to remove their ovaries to address health conditions such as endometriosis. \nMenopause is associated with vasomotor symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats as well as genital and urinary symptoms. These symptoms can last several years for some women\, drastically affecting their quality of life. Women also have increased risk for other health conditions following menopause\, such as cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. \nThis SWHR webinar provides information about menopause for women and their health care providers as well as examines ways that we can individually and collectively improve the quality of life for women at this life stage. \nFor more information on menopause treatment options\, check out this FDA fact sheet. To learn more about compounded bioidentical hormone therapy\, view guidance from the Endocrine Society and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. \nThis webinar is a follow-up to SWHR’s expert roundtable on menopause in January 2021 that sought to identify gaps in research\, clinical practice\, policy\, and education.
