Speaking of Women's Health - Dorset Women CIC

Menopause 101 with Dr Emma Hayward - BONUS #1

“Menopause affects 51% of the population if we’re lucky enough to live old enough… so it isn’t a niche topic.”  

Welcome to the first of four very special bonus episodes of Speaking of Women’s Health! 

In each episode, we’ll dive deeper into the topics we’ve covered on the show with our in-house Senior Lecturer and Practicing GP, Dr Emma Hayward.

She’s incredibly well-versed in women’s health issues, and makes complex issues simple to digest, so that you know exactly what to expect when coming to a GP for support.

This first bonus episode unpacks what really happens when you see your GP about menopause, when you should go to them for support, and the options for managing menopause both with, and without, HRT.
