Menopause and Midlife Clinic
We’re here for you
Menopause is the stage of life when menstrual periods stop. Perimenopause is the transition leading up to menopause. Symptoms during this time may include hot flashes, night sweats, poor sleep, weight gain, vaginal dryness, painful sex, and mood changes.
While menopause is a natural stage of life, treatments are available to reduce symptoms and support your health and quality of life.
Mass General Brigham brings together experts from more than 15 specialties to improve care for women during menopause and beyond through research, collaboration, and education. Our specialists provide evidence-based care to help you understand your options and feel supported during this transition.
