“Men”opause? Please …
Climacteric and Menopause
are two terms that are indistinctly used to name clinical expected events related to the decline in ovarian function.

Climacteric is defined as “having extreme and far-reaching implications.” It sounds like our bodies are going through global warming!
Due to menopause being a largely invisible and under-discussed topic in wider society, women often deal with menopause-related complications on their own. Social support and awareness have been shown to reduce negative menopausal experiences; however, lack of menopause knowledge, particularly among younger people, may deter women seeking support when suffering from menopause symptoms.
So … I would like to introduce to you my long-time friend, Katie.
Co-Facilitated with my friend Katie Ward DNP, WHNP
Adjunct Professor, Obstetrics And Gynecology
Professor (Clinical), College Of Nursing
