KGNU - How On Earth

Menopause, Hormone Therapy, Science


Listen Later

Menopause & HT (start time: 0:58)  It happens to every woman with a uterus who reaches midlife. Menopause is a major hormonal  transition that, although very challenging for some women, is natural, and (get this!) even  advantageous to civilization. Think grandmothers!  Yet menopause has been largely dismissed by the medical community. As a result,  too many women suffer through menopause in pain, shame,  and loneliness. In this week’s show, host Susan Moran  interviews Dr. Jen Gunter, a gynecologist and specialist in chronic pain medicine. She wrote the book  The Menopause Manifesto (2021), and she’s among a growing cadre of medical practitioners who are pushing to bring more information to women about what to expect during menopause and about treatment options, including hormones.
