– Six out of ten women want more information about menopause.

This is revealed in a new Norwegian study where Marianne Natvik is the first author. Menopause is still shrouded in myths and rarely discussed, even among healthcare professionals. Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but it can also come earlier or later. Most women will experience one or more symptoms of menopause, and some will be greatly affected. But what are normal menopausal symptoms, and what can we do about them? And how can healthcare professionals facilitate a smoother transition?

The Center for Research on Heart Disease in Women invites you to a seminar on menopause.

Everyone is welcome!
