Contemporary OB/GYN:Please provide a brief overview of your session at ACOG 2024. Monica M. Christmas, MD, FACOG:Our talk is entitled, “Combating disinformation and menopause care.” And we will be discussing how social media and the internet is influencing menopause these days, good and bad, and then giving providers hopefully a toolbox and a framework for providing patients with evidence based treatment options for managing their menopause symptoms. Stephanie Faubion, MD:We try to simplify care and make it easier for healthcare providers to take care of women with menopause symptoms, which can be really bothersome, and also to talk about what doesn’t work for management and menopause symptoms. Contemporary OB/GYN:What advice to you have for clinicians managing menopause in their patients? Faubion:Really just that there are treatment options and clinicians should feel comfortable managing this in their everyday practice because there are solutions available, and women really are suffering from these often.
