For many women, having uncomfortable conversations with their mothers or a health care professional about menstruation was a rite of passage. Today, there is a lot of education available for girls, but what still is lacking is education around menopause.
In this video, menopause expert Stephanie S. Faubion, M.D., discusses menopause and women’s health, including the average age of menopause, the types of symptoms that can show up, and how long symptoms typically last. A menopause specialist or healthcare team can help you treat menopause symptoms — and stay healthy after the menopause transition.
