BACKGROUND:
Each year in the United States, approximately 2 million women enter perimenopause and another 1.3 million enter menopause. That is an estimated 3.3 million women living with major health changes each year. However, almost half of them have not approached their general practitioner for help or advice about menopause, according to research from the National Institute of Health.

There are dozens of perimenopause and menopause symptoms, far beyond hot flashes that most people associate with menopause. Whether women are normalizing their symptoms or they're experiencing feelings of stigma or embarrassment, perimenopause and menopause bring various physical and emotional changes which too often go untreated or undiagnosed. Consider the following:

• 85% of women experience symptoms of menopause
• Of those who seek care, 75% remain untreated,

Women's health care addressing perimenopause and menopause should be a standard part of comprehensive primary care. Unfortunately, most primary care providers lack adequate menopause training, leading to misdiagnosed symptoms, inappropriate treatments, and prolonged patient suffering during hormonal transitions.

In this segment, Erin Duralde, MD, Medical Director of Women's Health and Menopause Care at One Medical shares the facts about perimenopause and menopause. She dispels common myths, shares the many symptoms women may experience in each stage, and explains how One Medical is aiming to bridge the gap in care through providing comprehensive support during this significant health transition.
