When Reena needed help, her doctors hesitated. A menopause and mood hub in Sydney will provide expert care to women navigating hormonal change.
In a one-two punch, the chemotherapy that treated her breast cancer had triggered early onset menopause, and her doctors were reluctant to prescribe hormone therapy for fear of fuelling her cancer.
Up to one in four women will experience severe menopause symptoms – roughly 400,000 Australians at any one time.The hub at the Royal Hospital for Women, Randwick – formally opened by Health Minister Ryan Park on Wednesday – is staffed by a multidisciplinary team of medical, nursing and allied health specialists led by gynaecologist and reproductive endocrinologist Professor John Eden.
The hub includes the state’s first hormone and mood clinic, where psychiatrists, gynaecologists and endocrinologists provide specialist care to women experiencing severe mental health impacts due to hormonal changes.
