The impact and management of symptoms experienced at midlife: a community‐based study of women in northeast Scotland

Abstract

Following the publication of the Women's Health Initiative trial results, menopausal symptoms remain common and are often bothersome. Many women seek information about menopausal symptoms from healthcare professionals. Future studies should look beyond frequently researched management strategies, to consider other commonly used options, such as social support, strategies to reduce core body temperature and information about managing menopausal symptoms.
