Misled about Menopause - thoughts from a Gyn and Hormone expert |
|
The #NYTimes published one of the best articles I have read summarizing menopause and hormone therapy. It is titled
"Women Have Been Misled About Menopause" They state: "Too many doctors are not equipped to parse these intricate pros and cons, even if they wanted to. Medical schools, in response to the W.H.I., were quick to abandon menopausal education. “There was no treatment considered safe and effective, so they decided there was nothing to teach,” says Minkin, the Yale OB-GYN. About half of all practicing gynecologists are under 50, which means that they started their residencies after the publication of the W.H.I. trial and might never have received meaningful education about menopause." Today we talk about the facts and data. |
