Promoting healthy ageing - Best practices in menopausal care
Date: Wednesday 26 March 2025
Time: 13:00-14:30 UTC
Description:
Menopause is a critical transitional phase for women. The bodily changes and symptoms one experiences during menopause occur on life's continuum, influenced by past health and reproductive histories, lifestyle and environmental factors. Often disruptive to personal and professional lives, these changes also affect one's long-term health.
According to the World Health Organization, the world's population of menopausal and post-menopausal women is growing and estimated to reach over 1.2 billion by 2030. Menopause is a crucial time for health professionals to engage in patient-centred care to mitigate symptoms, promote healthy ageing and contribute to positive long-term health outcomes.
This webinar will provide evidence-based guidance on key aspects of menopausal care, beginning with an overview of the "health span" concept. The vital role of micronutrients and lifestyle management during menopause will then be highlighted. This will be followed by a discussion on the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for alleviating menopausal symptoms and maintaining wellbeing. Next, solutions to sexual health challenges for women experiencing menopause will be explored. Tailored menopausal care for women with histories of cancer will also be covered. The webinar will conclude with a lively audience Q&A discussion.
Expand your knowledge to better assist patients by joining this FIGO webinar where we will explore multifaceted menopausal care as a crucial element of the lifecycle approach to healthcare.
This webinar is led by the FIGO Trustee for Europe, Prof Chiara Benedetto, in collaboration with the FIGO Division of Well Women Healthcare, the FIGO Committee on Women at Menopausal Age, the European Board & College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG) and the International Menopause Society (IMS).
