Clinical Challenges During Midlife Transitions and the Impact on Women’s Health
A woman’s midlife transition from peri-menopause through post-menopause brings a period of vulnerability for physiologic and symptomatic changes affecting both physical and mental health. Vasomotor symptoms, osteoporosis, depression—each can impair a woman’s functioning and quality of life. In this webcast, experts explore each of these clinical challenges that may face women in the midlife transition and provide insights and strategies for improving patient care.

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

• Examine the latest evidence on the recognition and management of hormone-related changes that can affect women during midlife and the continuum of care needed to appropriately care for these patients.
• Describe the impact of untreated vasomotor symptoms, osteoporosis, and depression in midlife women.
• Compare and contrast treatment options to help manage these conditions.
