We continue the education about menopause, with Dr. Iosif Niculescu, one of the best specialists in obstetrics-gynecology, the doctor who launched the first menopause clinic in Romania. In this episode, we cover all the stages and symptoms of menopause, from premenopause to postmenopause, and point out the major impact menopause has on women's health and quality of life. Along with Dr. Niculescu, we provide you with essential information about menopause management, the influence of factors such as smoking and obesity on menopause, as well as the importance of regular medical consultations. We also talk about hormone replacement therapy, what are its benefits and risks, and debunk the main myths. This podcast is a valuable source of information for all women who want to better understand this natural stage of life in order to be prepared to manage it effectively.
