Theme: Embracing the Beauty of Aging: Perimenopause and Menopause
As a woman, there comes a point in time when your rhythm shifts. It may present as a warm flush, a racing heart, or a sudden change you just can’t explain. And then you wonder and even perhaps worry that: “is it just me?”
Guess what? It’s not just you. You are not weird or alone and there is no cause for alarm. Perimenopause and menopause are natural seasons in every woman’s life. It is not an ending, but a powerful becoming.
Still, the journey can feel lonely when no one talks about it. So, this edition of the KAAF Specialist Hospital Health Information Webinar opens the conversation on this crucial topic.
Dr Adesumbo Odeseye, Consultant Obstetrician/Gynaecologist & Medical Director, KAAF Specialist Hospital and Mrs Oluwatoyin Aremu, Librarian, Institutional Repository, UNILAG will explore what’s happening, what helps, and why you’re not alone with clarity, compassion, and care.
You are welcome to leave questions you specifically need answered in the comments or email them to kaafmlmclagos@outlook.com, ahead of the webinar.
Save the date to join this insightful webinar.
Come as you are.
Leave informed, equipped, and unafraid!
