As more women of all ages get diagnosed with Parkinson disease, doctors and researchers need to start asking new questions. What’s the impact of PD on fertility and pregnancy? How can the management of PD be tailored to the unique stages of a woman’s life, including menstrual cycles, menopause, and post-menopause? How does a Parkinson’s diagnosis influence a woman’s work and family life balance? Questions like these improve care not just for women with PD, but everyone with the disease.
In this wHolistic!™ conversation, Adrienne Keener, MD, a movement disorders neurologist at UCLA Health, joins Indu Subramanian, MD to explore the unmet needs of women with PD. Their groundbreaking new paper is changing the face of Parkinson’s and, together in this program, they not only uncover the ways women’s needs are being overlooked, but also provide empowering solutions for women as the self-advocates in their care, for researchers and medical providers. “It’s shocking how bad the care is for some women with Parkinson’s,” Dr. Subramanian says. It’s time to uplift women’s unique voices.
