Most women receive 15 minutes for their annual gynecologist appointment.  It is barely enough time for an exam, let alone to get your menopause questions answered.

On this week's episode, we invited Dr. Carol Kuhle to explain what prior history women should know before an appointment and what questions they should be prepared to ask.  Dr. Kuhle is Director of the Menopause and Women's Sexual Wellness Center at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.

Dr. Kuhle answers questions on breast cancer risks, cardiovascular history and much more.  Are you struggling with hot flashes, cognitive blunting, sleep and sexual discomfort?  We talk about those as well.  Know your risks and have a clear intent before you go to your next gynecologist appointment.
