What to know about Black Menopause Specialist care
The SWAN study (Study of Women's Health Across the Nation) showed Black women enter menopause 8.5 months earlier than white women and experience vasomotor symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats) for 10 years on average versus 7 years for white women. That is the longest of any racial group. Yet Black women are less likely to be prescribed hormone therapy even when they'd benefit. A menopause specialist (often an OB-GYN or internist with North American Menopause Society certification, NAMS or MSCP) is trained in hormone therapy, non-hormonal options, bone health, and sexual health through midlife.
