Menopause in focus: women's forums increase health awareness!
On November 4, 2025, the second information evening on the topic “Menopause – a chapter full of possibilities” took place in the Mellrichstadt market hall. Over 100 women from the district took part in the event, which was organized by Health RegionPlus District Rhön-Grabfeld and the Rhön-Grabfeld Health Department. The financing was provided by the Bavarian State Ministry for Health, Care and Prevention. This initiative is part of the annual theme “Women – Visible & Healthy”, which aims to empower women at all stages of life and bring more attention to the issue of menopause.
The evening not only offered the participants valuable information, but also the opportunity to exchange ideas with each other. The specialist in gynecology, Katharina Hueber, gave a lecture about dealing with menopause early. The focus was on important topics such as a healthy lifestyle, a balanced diet and regular exercise. Hueber particularly emphasized the relevance of individually tailored hormone treatment.
Personal stories and exchanges
A highlight of the evening was the presentation of part of the documentary series “The Women’s Sauna – Damned Menopause!” Here four women reported on their experiences during the menopause, which was very touching and enlightening for many of those present. The subsequent discussion session allowed the women to ask questions and share personal experiences, which gave the evening a particularly personal touch.
The high demand for information and support about menopause clearly shows that this topic concerns many women. The evening was a step in the right direction to break the silence on a topic that is often considered taboo. The commitment of the organizers and the active participation of the women made the event a valuable platform for exchange and education.
Growing awareness of women's health
