Beyond hot flashes: Real stories and expert guidance on perimenopause and menopause
Hear about the many ways perimenopause and menopause can show up, and what care and support might look like for you.
Event Details
Perimenopause and menopause can affect much more than periods, and the experience can look different from person to person. This session combines clinician-led education and pre-recorded patient stories about common changes, questions worth raising with a provider, and the types of care and support that may be considered based on an individual’s symptoms, health or history, and goals. The stories would help bring the topic to life, while the clinical discussion would remain the foundation of the session.
Stay after the webinar for a live Q&A with our presenters. Everyone who registers will receive a recording by email.
