LRG - The Perimenopause and Beyond

Following the success of the first sold-out talk in May, we would like to extend a warm invitation to our Let's Run Girls community to attend this second evening talk about the menopause and perimenopause hosted by Dr Eimear Byrne, an NHS GP of 20+ years with a specialist interest in women's health. Eimear will soon be qualified as a Menopause Specialist with the British Menopause Society and she is also one of our fantastic volunteer Run Leaders, supporting the Chesterton group.

Eimear will give a presentation as the main part of the evening and there will be plenty of opportunity to ask general questions although individual management advice cannot be given.

The presentation will cover:

• The terminology and definitions used in this area of female healthcare
• Hormones involved and what happens to cause the perimenopause and menopause
• Symptoms of the perimenopause and menopause
• What options are available to help symptoms and improve health in the longer term (HRT and non-HRT options) and the impact of lifestyle and exercise
• Explanation of the background to the changes in HRT prescribing and knowledge over the past 24 years
• Contraception considerations for this time of life
• Weblinks to reliable sources of information for further reading
