Why are the signs and symptoms of menopause such a mystery?

If you have a uterus, menopause is coming for you. But most of us don't really know what to expect. We've heard of hot flashes (heck, I'm fanning myself as I write this) but there are a ton of other symptoms people don't talk about. On this topic, Sarah has even more questions than usual. Her totally unfiltered menopause-related questions include: What's the deal with hot flashes and how can we mitigate them? Why is is so hard to lose weight in menopause? And why am I gaining more weight in different places? Other than not having periods, is there anything to look forward to? What changes are happening to my lady parts? Is this the result of my uterus dying? (Spoiler: no, it's not.) The guest for this episode is Dr. Amantia Kennedy, an OB-GYN from WakeMed who thinks we should all be talking more about our vaginal health! Find out more about her at www.wakemed.org.
