In this episode of It’s Not a Crisis, Dr. Lee Cohen speaks with host Doryn Wallach about the struggles many women experience during the menopausal transition.
For most women, menopausal symptoms are manageable, but for a sizable subset of midlife women, these symptoms can negatively affect sleep, mood, and quality of life. While clinical guidelines suggest that menopausal symptoms typically last from 6 months to 2 years, new research suggests that for many women, the duration of these symptoms is much longer and can have a profound impact on functioning. Further complicating the matter is that, now that hormone replacement therapy is no longer a first line choice for the management of menopausal symptoms, many clinicians are ill-equipped to provide guidance to women who suffer from menopausal symptoms.
