    BMS comment-Davina McCall #sexmythsandthemenopause Indication for #testosterone is persistent low sexual desire after other factors addressed. Not enough evidence to support prescribing for improving cognitive function, musculoskeletal health, bone density bit.ly/38Qf4xu

    Govt consultation showed 75% of women felt not listened to or unsupported by the NHS, so we are delighted a Women’s Health Ambassador appointment has been announced. We look forward to seeing women given equal priority to healthcare and throughout their lives.

    Updating the NICE guideline:#Menopause - Diagnosis & Management (2015) is timely & much welcomed. Greater emphasis on CBT is well placed, with clear balancing of benefits & risks of HRT & a range of effective treatments to help with genitourinary symptoms  bit.ly/46mDpmt

    Testosterone is not an “essential” hormone for women. Misinformation in the media risks medicalising a normal life stage. Testosterone is only indicated for low libido in postmenopausal women & doesn’t support claims that it helps other menopause symptoms, bone loss or dementia.>
