International Menopause Society (IMS) recommendations and key messages on women’s midlife health and menopause
The overall aim of these recommendations and guidelines is to provide the blueprint for the management of women's midlife health and menopause, given the latest available evidence. In preparing these international recommendations, experts have endeavored to consider geographical variations in medical care, prevalence of diseases/conditions, symptom severity, availability and licensing of MHT and alternatives, and country-specific attitudes of the public, medical community and health authorities toward menopause management.
