For some women, it’s been described as life-changing. For others, it feels intimidating, controversial, or like something they were very clearly told to avoid.Today, we’re continuing our menopause series by discussing MHT, but also other treatment options available to women in perimenopause.I’m joined by Dr.Molly Strong, Chief of Obstetrics & Gynecology at Hancock Health.
