Menopause is a natural event. There is a big gap in a woman's life, between 45 and 60 years of age, during which there is virtually no supporting program for her. Physical symptoms are always real. We hope no one has to suffer in silence. Our ears are open to you. Certain diseases, best treated by prevention, occur more often after menopause. Informed decision-making is as vital in medical treatment as in surgical treatment. Women are in charge of their lives; Second opinions are always an option. People have a right to change their minds regarding treatment. The "Correct" treatment varies from person to person, and may change over time. We all have the same amount of time; yours is as valuable as ours is. A team of caregivers is essential to provide the best care.
