Responsible for a pioneering center in Toulouse, Professor Florence Trémollières recalls that despite a lack of media coverage and initiatives, there is a wide range of possibilities to support women.
Medical endocrinologist and gynecologist, head of the menopause center at Paule-de-Viguier hospital (Toulouse University Hospital), president of the Study Group on menopause and hormonal aging, Professor Florence Trémollières deplores a lack of information and initiatives on the subject.
Is there really anything new happening as menopause approaches?
There has indeed been excitement over the past twelve or eighteen months, particularly in the media – articles in newspapers, television shows, influencers on social networks. But the management of menopause remains a real desert. In le manifeste «All For Menopause», we issued a whole series of measures, but it didn’t get too much traction. The government has offered three free health check-ups in 2022, at ages 25, 45 and 65. Indeed, a consultation at 45 would at least make it possible, even if the woman at that age is not yet completely menopausal, to inform her of what is going to happen, to prepare her for the need to change her lifestyle. , to inform them of the benefit of going for a health check-up when their periods stop, etc. Unfortunately, this proposal remains wishful thinking to this day.
