Menopause: What's Hot! What's Not!, on Tuesday, May 1 at 7 p.m. in Georgetown. The event is organized by Halton Healthcare Services, in partnership with the Women's Health Alliance of Halton. The speaker is Dr. Glen Hunter, an obstetrician and gynecologist practicing in north Halton with Halton Healthcare Services. Hunter, the founder of Milton's Clinic for Women's Health, will talk about different aspects of menopause. Menopause is a period of hormonal change, which can occur for most women around their 40s, even as late as their late 50s. It is often accompanied by symptoms and is characterized by a cessation of periods marking an end to the child-bearing years. The process of menopause begins several years before the end of menstruation and continues for several years after it. There is no strong evidence to support any predictors for the length of menopause. Every woman is different and every woman will experience menopause at a different pace. There are a variety of techniques available to help relieve the symptoms associated with menopause -- medication, herbal remedies, and emotional support. There is no predetermined amount of time that menopause will last or how uncomfortable the process is going to be. A question and answer period will follow the formal presentation. This free seminar will be held on Tuesday, May 1 at the Georgetown Hospital Activity Room, One Princess Anne Dr., Georgetown. Displays will be available between 6:30 and 7 p.m. and the presentation will begin at 7 p.m. To reserve a seat, call 905-338-4379 or e-mail elittle@haltonhealthcare.on.ca.
