Vikram, a Menopause Specialist, from London, shares tips on how to get the most from your first GP appointment to discuss peri/menopause
Description
In this episode of Menopause Buddies, I make a departure from previous episodes, where I have spoken to women about their individual menopause journeys. This week I speak to Vikram, a doctor, who is a Menopause Specialist. We have a wide ranging discussion around peri/menopause issues including:
How to get listened to in your first menopause appointment with your GP. This can be a challenging experience, but Vikram suggests you can improve this experience by being prepared for the first appointment by tracking symptoms, presenting them concisely, and being informed about treatment options.
How attitude plays a role in how women experience the menopause transition.
How aging is perceived in different cultures can also affect experiences during menopause.
How HRT has evolved over the years and the different options available for women.
