Menopause

The latest research and reporting on menopause, symptoms, and care.

The average woman spends roughly a third of her life in menopause or the years leading up to it. Until recently, most of that time was spent without useful clinical guidance. The Women's Health Initiative study that scared a generation of doctors off hormone therapy has been substantially reanalyzed — and the picture looks different than the headlines suggested. Maternie follows the menopause research closely: the treatment debates, the symptom science, and what primary care still routinely gets wrong.
