Reassuring the woman facing menopause: strategies and resources.

Reassurance and reliable information are the prime requirements of women in premenopause, perimenopause and postmenopause. Women in premenopause want to know what to expect; women in perimenopause want to know that their experiences fall within the range of 'normal'; women in peri- and postmenopause need help in making sensible decisions about the use of hormone therapy. Based on the concerns expressed in over 7000 letters and other messages sent to the international newsletter, A Friend Indeed, this article discusses the concerns of North American women facing menopause in the last decade of the 20th century.

Education of community and health-care providers.

I submit that education about menopause should rest on three basic assumptions: (1) that menopause requires us to confront the stigma of aging; (2) that menopause is not a disease, but a challenge; and (3) that optimal treatment of the menopausal women needs the informed and educated participation of the patient. If we can agree on this, whether as medical consumers or health-care providers, I think that we can do much to alleviate the present state of confusion.
