Wellbeing of Women: Menopause and HRT

The speakers certainly delivered on the title and we particularly enjoyed hearing the story of Madhu Kapoor.

“Despite being a key treatment option for perimenopause and menopause, less than 1 in 5 women of menopausal age are on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), and this figure drastically reduces for Black and Asian women. In this webinar, we’re joined by menopause expert, Dr Sue Mann and menopause advocate, Madhu Kapoor to take a deep dive into HRT. We’ll discuss some of the common and lesser-known symptoms of menopause, explore how and why HRT is an effective treatment, and consider pros and cons of different types of HRT. We will also looked at the risks associated with HRT and sort out fact from fiction so that you’re empowered with the information to help yourself, or someone you know, to make informed decisions about your treatment options.”     Below, please see the links to useful resources: • Employer Membership Programme: https://www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk/get-involved/employer-membership-programme/ • Menopause Workplace Pledge: https://www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk/menopause-workplace-pledge/ • Wellbeing of Women health information: https://www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk/health-information/menopause/ • Wellbeing of Women ‘Let’s #ChatMenopause videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NtT49VZyiTk&list=PLd5sH-pIYtW7DwhK-fwNFU_VxMZfmOsyA • Madhu’s Menopause Experience: https://www.wellbeingofwomen.org.uk/news/madhus-menopause-experience/
