| Is there such a thing as a menopause doctor? Well, there should be. I have a good primary care physician but am between GYNs, hoping to find someone who specializes in this. Thanks in advance! |

Try using the NAMS locator tool, if yo don’t get recommendations.

| I don’t get it, what are you wanting? Menopause isn’t a disease and doesn’t need treatment |
It is a life changing event. Some of us go through it with minimal issues. Some have significant life limiting symptoms. For me, I would wake at night between 1-4 soaking the bed with sweat and stay awake for two to three hours. My vulva would tear when I wiped. I could no longer orgasm consistently and when I did more than half the time there was no good feeling. I was 45 when things started. 47 when a doctor told me I didn’t have to live like this. After three months on HRT, my symptoms resolved. I am not unique. Some experience perimenopause and menopause in a very different way that you did. |

Don’t let people try to tell you it’s not something you should seek help for. Not everyone has an easy time. There is zero reason to suffer.

| Amazing how this same question seems to get asked, and answered in exactly the same way, every few days! |
spoken like a man or a 22 year old woman. |
It’s almost like women aren’t well-informed about peri-menopause and need to reach out to the community when weird stuff starts happening because their own doctors don’t have current research on it. |

Every day even! Thank goodness it's the same question and answer every time! |
It is a normal occurrence that every single female will transition through. It isn’t a pathological disease process. |
It does have significant negative symptoms for some women. Stop being obtuse. |
I am thankful people are giving recommendations for docs in the areas requested. It’s helpful. You can simply not open the thread if you don’t know a gynecologist in x or y or z area and will clearly be triggered by it. There are so many other threads you can click on in this sub-forum. |
It's almost as if...someone has a reason to post the same question and answers over and over. |

Really really helpful to me! She solved a lot of my issues really quickly…
