S4 Ep193: Esoteric Symptoms of Menopause with Dr. Makeba Williams

Women who are in the throes of menopause are never thrilled about having hot flashes, but they aren’t particularly surprised by them.  It’s other symptoms that often blindside women, including symptoms that are not often associated with menopause.

Esoteric symptoms are different than unusual symptoms.

An unusual symptom is something that rarely occurs. An esoteric symptom, on the other hand, is one that occurs commonly, but is rarely discussed and often not well understood.
