Topic: Menopause affects all women regardless of race or socioeconomic background. However, recent studies have shown that the experience of menopause is different among different racial groups. African Americans have more estrogen related symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, urine leakage) than all the other ethnic groups. Additionally, African Americans are less likely to have somatic symptoms (headaches, difficulty sleeping, racing heart, stiffness and soreness in joints) than all other ethnic groups. Unfortunately, when it comes time for menopause, you're also likely to have more intense symptoms than your white peers. We will talk, in-depth of the change of life with our guest Momologist, Dr. Tiffany Woodus
