Health-care providers' views of menopause and its management: a qualitative study.
Susan R DavisD HerbertM ReadingRobin J BellPublished in: Climacteric : the journal of the International Menopause Society (2021)
Australian health-care providers appeared knowledgeable about menopause, but uncertain about its management. MHT prescription appeared limited to women with severe symptoms despite lifestyle modification and a trial of CAMs. The upskilling of clinicians providing care for women at midlife, with respect to the indications for and prescribing of MHT, urgently needs to be addressed.
