Welcome to episode 9 of Season 2 on CTRH Podcast. Here, as you know, we endeavour to have real conversations intended to make an actual difference.   Today I am joined by a dear friend and a colleague - Dr. Dorcus Muchiri, to discuss a topic that many have repeatedly requested and one that is still shrouded in mystery as it remains poorly understood and largely unstudied. Join us for a broad discussion on Menopause. What exactly is menopause? How is it diagnosed and what symptoms do we know of? Is menopause occurring in younger women and what is the implication of this on the fertility of today’s career woman? What management options are available during this transition and how best can one navigate the transition away from your reproductive years?   See link in Bio to join our in-depth conversation and together let’s explore how we can better prepare ourselves for this milestone as well as how best to support our family and friends that are going through it.   Dr. Muchiri is an Obstetrician Gynaecologist and Reproductive Endocrinology Consultant. She is a member of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (UK), British Fertility Society, European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology as well as the Kenya Obstetrics and Gynaecology Society.   Dr. Muchiri’s areas of special interest are novel technologies in reproductive medicine and genetics, female reproductive endocrinology, fertility preservation and fertility-related gynaecology (Fibroids/Endometriosis/Tubal factor/PCOS).   Dr. Muchiri also has an interest in other clinical aspects of women’s global health spanning early pregnancy health, obstetrics and general gynaecology. She is involved in medical research and passionate about patient advocacy and education as well as medical leadership.   Reach Dr. Muchiri’s clinic on 0202669121 or email [email protected]   How can you support this podcast?
