All
major world menopause guidelines are now consistent with advice that MHT is
appropriate treatment to offer to symptomatic healthy women “around the time of
menopause”. This presentation will focus on the practicalities of the menopause
consultation in 2018 and on how to approach the prescribing of MHT in an
individual woman. How to choose, initiate and monitor the different forms of
MHT will be discussed and will include the newer preparations of MHT available
as options in Australia and New Zealand.
Many
factors contribute to female sexual function, which changes with age and in the
years surrounding menopause. Female sexual dysfunction is prevalent and
associated with distressing symptoms that can challenge relationships and
hamper quality of life and wellbeing. The most common type of female
sexual dysfunction is lowered sexual desire. Contributing factors to female
sexual dysfunction are highlighted, with a focus on those relevant to peri- and
postmenopausal women. Assessment and management of women with female sexual
dysfunction is discussed, including the role of menopausal hormone therapy,
testosterone and other targeted treatments. New and emerging treatments
are outlined.
With
the plentiful free press commentary on transvaginal mesh and tapes this session
allows an excellent opportunity to review the management of female urinary
incontinence.
