If you are a woman approaching menopause, menopausal, or post menopausal, then welcome to this section of Dr Goldstein’s site to help you with your journey through the Menopause Stage of life. It is important that you know Menopause is not a disease, but a stage of life that you will pass through. Each woman is different, so each Menopause experience is unique. Not all have the same symptoms (though some symptoms are very common), and each woman has different challenges.
The articles and videos in this section provide information on symptoms, treatments, myths and realities about coping with the menopause stage of life.
