Menopause is a transition every woman goes through. Though menopause can present some inconveniences and discomforts, women who are healthy are usually able to handle the transition with little difficulty. And while menopause can be easier for some of us than for others, there are a variety of ways you can seek support at Stamford Health.
We work collaboratively with your own physician to provide a multidisciplinary approach to your care. Our staff works closely with Stamford Hospital specialists in a variety of areas, including:
- Digestion
- Urogynecology
- Heart health
- Diabetes
- Cancer
We offer consultation, diagnostic testing and support services for perimenopausal and menopausal women.
