A big issue within the medical community that has been circulating of late has been the debate over the treatment of menopause, in particular, the use of hormone therapy (MHT).
Three prominent international speakers who are extremely popular online will be featured at a conference called “So Hot Right Now” on menopause and hormone therapy in Sydney, which will attract both local experts and critical attention.
Detractors of the medical practitioners’ treatment practices believe the high doses of hormones prescribed by the latter were used on the patients, and it was through the social media channels that resulted in much misinformation about the topic of testosterone therapy.
Moreover, they argue that some of the recommended treatments are not evidence-based and may have negative effects on some patients. This skepticism becomes evident in the field of menopausal care, where the tug-of-war between evidence-based treatments and new, innovative techniques takes place.
The seminar, submitted by Australian GPs who are the people behind Healthy Hormones, has the objective of increasing menopause education and boosting individualized care. A lot of the people who are looking for this kind of treatment want to be heard and have their needs met. This ideology is patient-centered and takes into recognition the different walks of the women’s lives during their menopause.
The argument also spreads to the wider medical community that is divided on whether the use of modern treatments should overtake the established medical guidelines or not.
Given that menopause occurs in quite a large segment of the population, the implications of the outcomes of such deliberations for women’s health are far-reaching. It is the conference that offers a venue for such kind of dialogue, and in truth, it could even influence the coming approaches to the care of menopausal women.
Closer to the date, menopause patients might get a better idea of the developments in their field as far as treatment is concerned. At the core of it, it is a fact that there is a demand to provide more research and the wisdom of experience in order to make appropriate and healthy menopausal care, wholly in a way proficient to females.
