Yesterday, Medscape News UK published a news story about a study in The Lancet that encourages a new approach that moves beyond treating specific symptoms of menopause and towards a more holistic framework. I could not agree more. However, the news story and the study make references to menopause being over-medicalised, which I find unhelpful. In the UK, and thanks to much-needed recent media attention, menopause is finally becoming a topic of public discussion.
