BrandStar Entertainment’s The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television is helping women cope with menopause! The show is featuring Tara Allmen, MD, Center for Menopause, Hormonal Disorders & Women's Health at Columbia-Presbyterian Center, who will highlight the exciting and interactive elements of a comprehensive website, www.CopewithMenopause.com. Dr. Allmen will be a guest on the show for two segments, one discussing the impact of menopause on relationships premiering on August 19th and another show highlighting the differences between surgical and natural menopause that will air on September 2nd. Once aired, both can also be viewed at www.TheBalancingAct.com/menopause.
According to the North American Menopause Society, 6-thousand women a day enter menopause with the average age of onset being 51. On the show, Dr. Allmen will outline what these women face when dealing with the beginning and advanced symptoms of menopause. The impact of menopause on home and work life will also be discussed.
“Each woman faces many challenges when she reaches this stage of life and many women don’t know where to go to learn about the changes their bodies are experiencing and the available resources to help them,” says Dr. Allmen. “Menopause affects each woman differently. This really highlights the importance of speaking with a knowledgeable healthcare provider to learn how to manage specific symptoms safely and effectively, which may include FDA approved prescription medication.”
A great information source, www.CopewithMenopause.com, offers helpful information for women coping with menopause. The site also includes an online questionnaire called “The Menopause Impact Tool,” which helps women assess their menopausal symptoms and communicate these symptoms to their healthcare provider. Once complete, women can print the Menopause Impact Analysis to bring to their next physician appointment. The analysis will help her and her healthcare professional determine appropriate treatment options for her menopause symptoms.
