Menopausal Management: A Critical Issue Though Tough Work

Estrogen deficiency after menopause will lead to a series of health issues that seriously harm the patients' life quality. Based on current life expectancy, women will be in a state of no estrogen for nearly 30 years. The menopausal hormone therapy(MHT) is the only full-spectrum solution, concerning both the symptoms at the onset of the menopause and the metabolic issues afterward. At present, in China, although the public and medical workers have improved the awareness of the importance of menopausal management and the application of MHT, the use of MHT is still very poor. We should put more efforts on public education about menopause, set up more menopausal outpatient clinics, as well as strengthen the continuing education of doctors in obstetrics, gynecology and other related departments, to improve the knowledge of medical workers and the public about menopausal management so that more and more menopausal women can benefit from it.
