Making Menopause Manageable

3 Questions

Dr. Susan Loeb-Zeitlin, an assistant professor of clinical obstetrics and gynecology at Weill Cornell Medicine, understands the complexity of treating women in menopause and worked with a multidisciplinary team to launch the new Women’s Midlife Program.

  1. 1.  What makes menopause treatment challenging?

    Menopause can affect the whole body, from the brain to the bones and heart. Every woman experiences the transition differently. Figuring out what each woman needs can take time.

  2. 2.  How does your program improve care?

    We start with a 40-minute telehealth visit that provides uninterrupted time to delve into what’s happening. From there, we develop an individualized treatment plan and follow up as needed.

  3. 3.  What role does patient education play in your program?

    Mixed information about menopause abounds. We use podcasts, webinars, and other resources to educate women about treatment options, ranging from lifestyle changes to medication. Our message is: each woman goes through the transition differently, but we can help you manage the condition.
