Menopause 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.
This 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.
