Thank you for being an advocate and the voice of science and reason. I almost cried when I saw this post because nothing makes a woman in pain feel even worse than reading something like this.
My good lord, what would women and their parts do without you??
Amazing to me how much disinformation/misinformation there is out there on every issue related to being a woman, having a body, getting older, trying to stay vibrant and healthy, all while fending off misguided "influencers," money-grubbing product teasers, and even, it seems, purportedly respected female-oriented organizations.
The service you provide, Lauren, should be mandatory reading.
The other issue for The Menopause Society is they need to ensure that a menopause physician reviews PRESS RELEASES, not only scientific papers. I was part of the startup team at WebMD (after 25 years in professional medical publishing). Our success was very much related to the fact that people could TRUST our content; EVERY piece of content was reviewed by at least one physician. The reactions to the press release show how important this is. It reflects on the credibility of TMS. Once lost, credibility is hard to regain.
Dr. S, this press release headline almost seems to be “click bait”. at minimum, it reflects negligence or lack of understanding of the subject matter. As we say in the scientific community, “Correlation does not imply causation”. Thanks for bringing it to the community’s attention.
