Menopause & Women's Health Edition | Menopause and Hormonal Therapy

HOST - Dawn Marie R. Davis, M.D. GUEST - Jewel M. Kling, M.D., M.P.H. The number of midlife women transitioning into menopause is substantial with more than one million women in the U.S. entering menopause each year. Symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms (VMS), mood and sleep disturbances, and sexual problems are common during the menopause transition, yet often go untreated. Menopausal hormone therapy (HT) is often the preferred and most effective treatment option for menopausal symptoms. Dr. Juliana (Jewel) Kling joins the podcast to discuss this important topic.
