5-10-2022 Media Only News Briefing: Living in the “Sandwich”: Women’s Health & Menopause
Share this:
National Women’s Health Week is May 8-14, 2022.
Women in the “sandwich generation” may be balancing the competing demands of caring for both dependent children and aging parents, and often working outside of the home. Their own needs may take a backseat while they care for others and juggle all of the demands of life, which has been made even worse with the stressors of the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionally affecting women. Around this same time in life, many women begin perimenopause and then menopause, which is a significant change in a women’s life and health.
Dr. Stephanie Faubion, a Mayo Clinic women’s health and menopause expert discussed the current state of women’s health, what do women need to know as they begin perimenopause and menopause, the effects of menopause on health, options for treatment, and health disparity issues related to menopause.
