New Website Offers Personalized Education and Support for Menopausal Women
HealtheWomen.com empowers women to make informed choices about menopausal symptom management with unbiased, evidence-based information
DALLAS TX (PRWEB) October 6, 2004 -- Apart from simply not feeling well, many
women experiencing perimenopausal and menopausal symptoms feel confused and
alone. With all the treatment options on the market today, deciding on the right
one for your body and personal circumstances can become overwhelming. Doctors
hold differing beliefs about the efficacy and appropriateness of various
treatment approaches, and many women are confused about the latest
research-based information. So how do you find out which options are likely to
work best for you?
HealtheWomen.com is a new online resource where women
can go for individualized support and self-education on all perimenopause and
menopause matters. The website's sole purpose is to empower women to make
informed choices about their health by offering easily accessible, unbiased and
credible information on menopause and related topics. And believe it or not,
membership is free.
"Many physicians wish they had more time to offer
their patients in-depth education on the myriad of ways that menopause can
effect health," says Coral S. May, President and Founder of HealtheWomen.com .
"This site was created so women can see the many faces of menopause and the many
ways it can affect their lives. By recognizing symptoms and attaining unbiased
information on the various treatment options and their risks, women can make
informed choices based on their personal values and preferences coupled with the
latest in evidence-based information."
With an in-depth "interview" that
generates personalized information relevant to each woman's specific situation,
HealtheWomen.com is not just your average menopause site with general
information and resources. It contains a very detailed, comprehensive list of
symptoms that may be related to perimenopause, insight as to why many symptoms
might occur, and information on potential risk factors involved with various
treatment options.
Through the HealtheMe Guide to Perimenopause through
Postmenopause, a proprietary on-line interview tool that differentiates the site
from other menopause resources, each woman can create her own customized guide
to educate and support her through her personal transition through menopause.
The Guide offers advice and options that empower women to take control of their
health.
The HealtheMe Guide includes depression screening, advice on how
to interact with a personal healthcare provider, and a unique tracking mechanism
that enables a woman to monitor her symptoms over a period of time. She can then
evaluate and discuss them with her physician to better understand how various
treatments are affecting her health and well-being.
