E31. Unpacking RANZCOG’s Clinical Guideline for Management of Vasomotor and Genitourinary Symptoms of Menopause (audio)

In this episode of Talking O&G: a RANZCOG Podcast, host Dr Heather Waterfall speaks to gynaecologist Dr Catriona Melville and general practitioner Dr Anita Muñoz about RANZCOG’s binational clinical guideline Management of Vasomotor and Genitourinary Symptoms of Menopause.  

Dr Melville and Dr Muñoz speak on the scope of the guideline and how it can be used to support clinicians in assessment and treatment of vasomotor and genitourinary symptoms during menopause. They unpack the range of recommendations in the guideline, including menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) and non-hormonal therapies, and considerations such as when to begin and cease treatment, and treating women with a history of breast cancer.
