Dr Laurena Law is a general practitioner working in Hong Kong who has a special interest in nutrition and lifestyle medicine to improve healthy aging and prevent chronic illness. When Laurena gained personal experience of perimenopause and saw the impact it was having on her own life, she decided to learn more about hormone health and evidence-based treatments for the menopause so she could help herself and her patients.
In this episode, Louise and Laurena discuss cultural differences and similarities between British and Chinese approaches to menopause from both an individual and healthcare perspective. Laurena emphasises the importance of educating women so they know how to recognise their perimenopause or menopause and to empower them to make their own health needs a priority. She educates healthcare professionals in Hong Kong and further afield to ask women the right questions in consultations and to know how to prescribe body identical HRT.
Dr Laurena’s three tips for women:
- Complete a menopause symptom questionnaire and repeat it every few months. This can form the basis of a conversation with your healthcare provider
- Find a healthcare provider that is educated and updated in menopause care
- Find a support group of women also going through the menopause to talk about the problems and challenges you’re going through – you’re not alone.
