Menopause & MS (LWUK)

October is World Menopause Month and we’re delighted to welcome back Dr Laura Jarvis. Laura has a monthly clinic in Tayside's MS Clinic supporting patients with their sexual health needs.

This session will provide you with information and guidance on how the menopause may affect you, as there are a vast range of symptoms associated, it will also provide you with what options you have for managing your menopausal and MS symptoms. There will be time at the end for questions.

Our webinars offer a safe, fact-based space that you can attend anonymously. These events are for anyone affected by MS; whether you are living with MS, a friend, family member, carer or colleague of someone living with MS or a healthcare professional. Our webinars are recorded and we send a copy out to all those who register.
