Over the last two decades, the menopause management pendulum has swung wildly from very few women wanting HRT to so many women wanting it, with the recent increased awareness in the media, that shortages have occurred. Some narratives have resulted in greater fear about menopause and unrealistic expectations about HRT. Conflicting reports have led to much confusion among women. In this talk, I will discuss the implications of menopause today for women in context, including relevance in the workplace, implications for long-term health, risks and benefits of HRT and how to help empower women realistically and holistically.
