Doctor or psychiatrist consulting and diagnostic examining stressful woman patient on obstetric - gynecological female illness, or mental health in medical clinic or hospital healthcare service center — This hour, we talk about menopause symptoms and treatments available for Vermonters.

Menopause is a natural part of life. But because it’s been hard for many people to talk about, many women have faced debilitating symptoms without support.

This hour, Vermont Edition listens back to an episode from February about menopause.

Our guest:

Dr. Jane Conolly, a gynecologist at Vermont Gynecology in South Burlington and a North American Menopause Society certified menopause practitioner

Editor's note: Vermont Gynecology is a Vermont Public underwriter.
Originally broadcast live on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2023, at noon; rebroadcast at noon and 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 17, 2023.
