  • #107 Managing Menopause with underlying health conditions
    In this episode of HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Dr. Caoimhe Hartley joins host Noreen Turley to explain what complex menopause really means, who it affects, and how Ireland’s six Complex Menopause Clinics are supporting women who may not be able to take hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Menopause is often discussed in terms of hot flushes and mood swings but for some women, it’s far more complicated. In this episode, we focus on complex menopause, where underlying medical conditions or cancer histories can make treatment more challenging. Caoimhe explains that there is support for women when HRT is not an option, she encourages women to make the list, ask the questions and get a referral from your GP to one of the six complex menopause clinics across the country. From managing symptoms without hormones, to tackling brain fog, sleep disruption, and the emotional toll of feeling left out of the conversation, this episode offers practical advice, empathy, and hope to all women.
