Hello
You may remember a few months ago we, with our colleagues over on Gransnet, kicked off a a campaign focusing on the menopause and perimenopause.
We first looked at the HRT shortage and now we’re looking at GPs - here’s some of what we found:
Nearly four in ten women seeking treatment for perimenopause symptoms say their GP told them they’d just have to learn to live with it
Over a quarter of those seeking treatment for menopause were told the same thing
36% of those who sought help from their GP for perimenopause symptoms, and 26% of those who sought help for menopause symptoms, say they visited their GP three times or more before being prescribed appropriate medication or help
To find out more, take a look here. Let us know what you think. And if you’re in the mood to do some clicktivism, take a look at this petition calling for mandatory training about the menopause for GPs-in-training.
Thanks
