informed consent in menopausal therapies

Informed consent in menopausal therapies means that a healthcare provider explains the potential benefits, risks, and alternatives of treatments for menopause, such as hormone replacement therapy or lifestyle changes. Patients should be given clear information and have the opportunity to ask questions, ensuring they understand their options. This process allows individuals to make educated decisions regarding their health care, based on their personal values and circumstances, while also ensuring they are aware of what to expect and any possible side effects from the treatments.
