In the latest HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast episode, host Noreen Turley talks openly about menopause with two women’s health experts, Dr. Cliona Murphy, a Gynaecologist and Clinical Director at the HSE National Women & Infants Health Programme, and Dr. Caoimhe Hartley, a General Practitioner and Clinical Lead of the Complex Menopause Clinic at Rotunda Hospital.
It becomes clear early in the discussion that the menopause journey is very personal, with experiences varying among women. The conversation explores a range of symptoms and treatment options, including an examination of the benefits and risks associated with Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). Both experts stress the importance of seeking medical guidance early, particularly if a woman’s quality of life is being impacted. They explain that early intervention, education, and open discussion about the menopause can relieve anxiety and empower women to seek assistance, ultimately promoting women’s overall health and wellbeing.
