The most common symptoms are vasomotor symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats, sleep disturbances. Other symptoms includes low mood and anxiety, weight gain, reduced sex drive, poor cognitive performance and so on. These symptoms appear as results of fluctuations and
subsequent reduced production of the ovarian hormones, affecting the quality of life for a lot of woman.
The current lecture will cover the following issues:
How this transition period arises in both western medicine and TCM perspective;
What clinical symptoms and signs are during this period;
The current clinical managements are highlighted such as MHT (menopausal hormonal therapy) and TCM;
How to navigate this period properly in order to improve quality of life for individuals, including the adjustment of lifestyles in advance.
During the seminar, group discussion will be also arranged to enable the participants to share the experiences dealing with menopause during the daily practice.

Medical Ethics
Sooner or later, incidentally or frequently, therapists will meet in their contacts with patients circumstances where different options to act present themselves. In such cases it is often not a matter of choosing between just black and white, but merely between the one grey and the other. Arguments pro or contra can be put forward for any possible option. That what does justice to one principle might detract from the other, and vice versa. Norms prescribe how to act, but different norms might seem inconsistent towards each other. Nevertheless, choices must be made in given circumstances. Ethics may help you to make responsible choices. Medical ethics does so in cases related to patients and healthcare.
