What you'll learn in this expert session
While menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) remains the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, it isn't suitable for every woman, and some may choose not to use it.
In this session, Sexual Health Physician Dr Terri Foran explores the evidence-based non-hormonal and non-pharmacological options for managing the most common and troublesome menopausal symptoms, including vasomotor and vulvovaginal symptoms. She will also examine some of the widely used complementary and alternative therapies that, despite their popularity, lack evidence of benefit.
