Jill Wassil, Chief Marketing Officer of miraDry, Inc., shares her enthusiasm about the study's implications: "This research underscores a significant gap in our understanding and handling of menopausal symptoms. For too long, underarm issues have been silently borne by women, not discussed enough in public forums or even with healthcare providers. With this study, we're spotlighting the real impact on women's daily lives and opening up conversations about solutions that respect and address their needs."

The study reveals that up to an astonishing 70% of women experience an increase in underarm sweat and odor as they approach menopause, with many using three or more coping strategies daily. The data also highlights the substantial impact on women's social lives and self-esteem, with a majority expressing heightened self-consciousness in social and professional settings.

Dr. Wesley Anne Brady, M.D, Board Certified Gynecologist and founder of the Women's Wellness Institute of Dallas, comments on the study: "The findings from the 'Sweat Scope' study reveal an opportunity for how we approach menopause care. This research provides the evidence we've needed to address underarm issues, which are often overlooked yet significantly affect women's quality of life in their transition to menopause. It's time we broaden our perspective and integrate these insights into our treatment protocols to offer holistic, effective care for all symptoms of menopause to help women thrive."

Lisa J. Pieretti, Co-Founder of the International Hyperhidrosis Society, adds, "Hyperhidrosis and menopause share significant challenges, including the limited discussion and awareness of available treatments. Our collaboration with miraDry on this study is a vital step towards enhancing the visibility and support for women dealing with these intertwined issues."

The "Sweat Scope" study is a call to action for healthcare providers and the broader medical community to proactively discuss and explore treatment options that can alleviate these symptoms. miraDry, Inc. remains committed to advancing the conversation around menopause, advocating for comprehensive care and support that empower patients to feel their best selves.
