With quotes and research from Dr Louise Newson, this article from the Daily Mail shares the stories of several women who had been diagnosed with long covid only to then notice a change in their periods and an onset of menopausal symptoms. 

Dr Louise Newson was recently asked to write an article to discuss the subject of female hormones and COVID-19 in more detail and to explore how low hormone levels can be associated with long Covid. 

Dr Louise Newson recently joined Liam Sloan and Dr Mark Simpson from Health Management for a powerful podcast exploring what HR needs to know about the menopause and how employers can help support women in the workplace.

As some evidence suggests that falling oestrogen levels could leave older women more at risk from Covid-19, Dr Louise Newson talks to The Guardian in this article exploring why the link between the menopause and Covid needs to be investigated. 

Australian postmenopausal women will now have access to a medically prescribed, clinically effective testosterone formulation which meets the requisite quality and safety standards for registration for the management of hypoactive sexual desire dysfunction (HSDD).

Dr Verity Biggs, GP with special interest in menopause here at Newson Health, recently joined West Mercia Police for a 'Let's Talk Menopause' webinar that was attended by 260 police colleagues from all over the UK.

Dr Louise Newson and Dr Mark Coombe of FourteenFish recently recorded this webinar, aimed at giving healthcare professionals the confidence and knowledge to assess and prescribe HRT to perimenopausal and menopausal women.

The group of people that most commonly experience Long Covid is women in their 50s. Dr Louise Newson has created this questionnaire for women who have been diagnosed with Long Covid to help with future research into this important area. 

Research has shown that a woman's biological age can increase by up to 30% during the perimenopausal period, with the potential for her body to age significantly during this time of life.
