Managing Hormone Imbalances
The 2022 annual meeting of the North American Menopause Society (NAMS) commenced with a powerful assertion: "A tsunami is coming."
In the United States alone, there are sixty-four million women aged 50 and older, with half of the female population being 40 and above. On average, a woman can anticipate spending 50% of her life grappling with perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms. These symptoms encompass a range of issues such as menstrual irregularities, unwanted hair growth, fatigue, hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, decreased sex drive, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, weight gain, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and more unfortunate challenges. Regrettably, these symptoms vary from mild to debilitating for some women, impacting not only their health but also relationships, employment, financial stability, and overall quality of life.
It's surprising that only about 50% of women recognize that their symptoms are linked to hormone imbalances. Of this 50%, only 60% seek treatment, and astonishingly, only 75% actually receive the treatment they need.
In the United States, there exists a significant shortage of qualified practitioners who are both educated and willing to address hormonal imbalances and provide necessary therapies. Shockingly, it is estimated that only two-thirds of providers feel confident in treating menopausal women. As of 2022, there were only 1300 NAMS specialized trained Menopause Providers, leaving women substantially underserved.
