Make A Difference Minute: Breaking the Silence on Menopause

On this Make a Difference Minute, board-certified OB/GYN and menopause care specialist Dr. Diana Bittner discusses why some women hesitate to talk with their healthcare providers about hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. For some, it’s something they were raised not to discuss. For others, it’s the fear of being labeled as old or simply not knowing what treatment options are available. Dr. Bittner encourages women to speak openly about their symptoms, ask questions, and work with their healthcare providers to find care that meets their individual needs. No woman should feel that she has to remain silent about concerns affecting her health, relationships, or quality of life.
