Mel Robbins：本期节目旨在帮助更年期女性了解更年期和激素替代疗法的科学事实，消除误解，并找到有效的解决方案。节目中，专家将解答更年期症状是否正常、激素替代疗法是否安全、哪种激素替代疗法最好、以及如何与医生和家人沟通等问题。 Dr. Jen Gunter：更年期是女性生殖周期的一个正常阶段，如同青春期一样，可能会带来一些不适，但并不意味着身体会崩溃。更年期最大的误解是认为人生就此结束，其实更年期后很多女性会感到更加清晰和自在。了解自身身体运作机制能让人更有掌控感，避免因症状而感到孤立无助。更年期女性应优先进行运动，因为它能改善多种更年期症状。更年期激素疗法是通过补充激素来治疗更年期症状或预防并发症，选择更年期激素疗法时，应优先选择经FDA批准的疗法，而非所谓的“生物相同激素”。选择更年期激素疗法时，应选择有包装说明书的FDA批准药物，以确保剂量和安全性。更年期激素疗法主要有两种雌激素：雌二醇和孕马烯雌酮，以及三种给药途径：经皮、阴道和口服。1991年的妇女健康倡议研究虽然对激素替代疗法产生了负面影响，但该研究存在局限性，且目前对激素替代疗法的认识已有所更新。对于大多数更年期女性而言，激素替代疗法的益处大于风险，但需根据个人情况进行评估。激素替代疗法的疗效可以通过症状改善情况来评估，通常在几周内就能看到效果。不要将更年期症状作为忽视女性的借口。如果在更年期没有得到家人的支持，这是一种糟糕的处境，应尝试与家人沟通。更年期女性的家属应学习相关知识，并分担家务，以减轻女性的负担。寻找更年期治疗时，可以寻找经认证的更年期医疗提供者，也可以参考北美更年期协会的指南。更年期女性应寻求准确的循证信息，如有必要，可寻求第二诊疗意见，并警惕商业宣传。
