    Menopause; What Every Woman Should Know

    Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation, marking the end of a woman's reproductive years, and typically occurs between ages 45 and 55. It is a natural, normal transition with a phase called perimenopause, where symptoms begin gradually as hormone levels change. Common symptoms include hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances, but experiencing them varies for each woman. Lifestyle changes, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, stress management, and quitting smoking, can help manage symptoms, though some may benefit from medical treatments like hormone therapy or other options for severe symptoms, which require a doctor's consultation.  Learn more about Michelle Stoltzman, MD

    Lung Cancer Screening: What is it and Who Benefits From It?

    Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the United States for both men and women. Each year, more people die of lung cancer than of colon, breast, and prostate cancers combined. This is because the disease shows no symptoms until it has progressed to advanced stages when it is very difficult to treat. The good news is that advances in imaging have made it possible to detect lung cancer early on, when treatment can be highly successful. The Eisenhower Lung Cancer Screening Program evaluates current and former smokers to determine their risk for lung cancer and provides assessment and evaluation for persons at risk for lung cancer.
