'UNDERSTANDING THE MENOPAUSE' WEBINARS FOR MEN

PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate release: 8th April 2025


‘UNDERSTANDING THE MENOPAUSE’ WEBINARS FOR MEN
Learn more about the menopause

Knowing about the menopause can help men to better support their wife or partner, employees and/or work colleagues who are experiencing symptoms at this time of life. There are many myths and misconceptions surrounding the menopause, so it’s essential to know the facts. And a great way to do this is to attend a webinar by a leading expert and public speaker.

Norma Goldman, founder and director of The Menopause Exchange, is now hosting her own regular webinars for men interested in the menopause, called ‘Understanding the Menopause’. Each men’s webinar provides impartial, reliable, up-to-date and practical information on all aspects of the menopause. If men join the webinar (accessed through Zoom), they’ll be able to ask questions and will receive an emailed factsheet after the webinar. The webinars are not designed for healthcare professionals or anyone in the healthcare industry.

Topics covered include:
• general information on the perimenopause and menopause
• menopausal symptoms
• self-help lifestyle tips and health promotion advice
• HRT
• prescribed medicine alternatives to HRT
• complementary therapies and medicines
• nutrition
• the menopause at work

Examples of positive feedback from attendees of the ‘Understanding the Menopause’ webinars for men include:

“The information in the webinar was very interesting. I learnt that itching can be a physical symptom, and I can now tell my partner that the itching she complains of could be due to the menopause.”

“Very interesting and helpful.”

“Thank you for conducting the webinar yesterday. My husband found it very informative. He told me about it, and I actually learnt something about the tablets I’m taking to help my sweats.”

“As I have colleagues going through the menopause, I found the sections on menopausal symptoms affecting work, the effect of work on the menopause, and recommendations for colleagues to support those experiencing menopause, very useful.”

Norma Goldman BPharm.(Hons) MRPharmS. MSc. (health promotion) has a pharmacy degree, worked as a pharmacist for several years and is a qualified health promotion specialist.
