AMS Statement 15 July 2024

The Australasian Menopause Society (AMS) provides education to health professionals to improve the healthcare of women at perimenopause and after menopause.

The AMS welcomes discussion of menopause and efforts to improve access to appropriate care. However, we have recently become aware of spurious claims being made about menopause and hormone therapy by some health professionals on social media and in opinion pieces. These claims are presented as mainstream expert opinion, but some of them do not accord with current evidence-based guidelines.
