Ethnic minority women in England far less likely to get menopause treatment, data shows 🔴 luciemheath
can reveal how ethnicity also plays a role in access to the menopause treatment on the NHS in England.
However, the new analysis shows there is still a disparity in how HRT is prescribed to women of different ethnicities based within areas with a similar deprivation profile. Dr Radhika Vohra, a GP with a specialist interest in women’s health and the menopause, said: “Different ethnic groups cope differently and they present differently and what we have is a model of menopause care that’s based on a typical Caucasian presentation in a western world.”
“Women from Asian or South Asian backgrounds are much more likely to experience body aches, vaginal difficulties, dryness and palpitations and women from African-Caribbean backgrounds are much more likely to get joint pains and muscle weakness,” she said, adding that many doctors are focussed primarily on hot flushes when it comes to prescribing treatment for the menopause.
