Have any studies been done to determine the care given to menopausal woman vs. younger reproductive women?

Ginger G asked:


Menopausal and perimenopausal women often times suffer from the list of 37.. or more.. health concerns that occur as their hormones are changing. Many doctors take a dim view of taking these women’s complaints seriously, or even consider them at all; or they toss them a script for hormone replacement therapy. Has a study been done, or research in the works to look at the vast differences between a younger woman in her prime, versus an older complaining woman as far as what kind of care an older woman can expect to have as reasonable..

    Studies are being done all the time. Hope they find out something good soon. It must be quite difficult since women are very different in this area.

    Forgive me, but I think you’re asking the wrong group. I’m in my 50’s but I get the feeling the vast majority writing here are in their teens or early 20’s.

    My experience is that as I’ve aged, many GYN MDs are no longer delivering babies due to the increased costs in malpractice insurance. They ONLY deal with menopausal women.

    Try getting your answer from WebMD.com or AARP.org. There is much more life experience on those boards.
