IAWH with Arianna Sholes Douglas, MD, FACOG: Let's Talk About Menopause!
IAWH was joined by Ob/Gyn Arianna Sholes Douglas, MD, FACOG, for a frank discussion about the symptoms, treatments, and living healthier through perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause. Dr. Arianna’s book, “The Menopause Myth: What Your Mother, Doctor, And Friends Haven't Shared About Life After 35,” is a must-have to buy and share.
Did you know:
- 45 percent of women don’t know the difference between perimenopause and menopause before experiencing symptoms. (SWHR, Menopause Preparedness Toolkit: A Woman’s Empowerment Guide)
- Most medical schools and residency programs don’t teach aspiring physicians about menopause. Indeed, a recent survey reveals that just 20 percent of ob-gyn residency programs provide any menopause training. Mostly, the courses are elective. And nearly 80 percent of medical residents admit that they feel “barely comfortable” discussing or treating menopause. AARP, “What Doctors Don’t Know About Menopause: Three out of four women who seek help for symptoms don’t receive it”
Dr. Arianna's discussion empowers women to know their bodies and build stronger relationships with our preferred medical professionals through accurate and helpful information about menopause.
