Recent perspectives advocate for an empowerment-based model, emphasizing the importance of incorporating both medical and psychological dimensions into menopause management. This contribution builds upon previous models and integrates a psychological framework that considers menopause as not only a time of loss but also a period of growth, self-realization and transformation. From a psychological perspective, menopause invites a redefinition of identity, with key psychological changes structured around two central dimensions: body-space and time perception. The transition away from the cyclical rhythms of fertility to a more stable bodily and temporal experience provides women with a grounding sense of self and fosters a deeper engagement with long-term goals. These changes, although potentially disorienting, represent a developmental opportunity for stabilization and growth. By embracing this broader understanding, clinicians and researchers can support women in thriving during and beyond this stage, moving beyond solely symptoms management and fostering a collaborative relationship with women navigating this transition.

Responses from 1261 HCPs showed that systemic MHT was prescribed by 62.4% of HCPs and vaginal estrogen therapy by 86.0%. Although 95% of HCPs were aware of the indications, risks and benefits of MHT, 57% used alternative therapies as first-line therapy and 71% used them as an adjunct to MHT.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>There is a lack of awareness regarding the impact of menopause on health and on the use of MHT, and educational programs may encourage women to seek help. While HCPs are knowledgeable, hesitancy in the use of systemic MHT indicates the need for professional training programs to increase confidence in prescription writing.</p>","PeriodicalId":10213,"journal":{"name":"Climacteric","volume":" ","pages":"286-295"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144198382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
