Women are gritting out menopause without seeking any treatment for their symptoms, a new Mayo Clinic study says.
More than 4 out of 5 women said they did not seek medical care for menopause symptoms, researchers reported in Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
"Menopause is universal for women at midlife, the symptoms are common and disruptive, and yet, few women are receiving care that could help them," said lead researcher Dr. Ekta Kapoor, an endocrinologist and menopause specialist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"This gap has real consequences for women's health and quality of life, and it's time we address it more proactively," Kapoor said in a news release.
