The proportion of women veterans served by VHA who are aged 45-64, "the age range most likely to experience menopause, or the permanent cessation of menstruation," according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) -- VA Menopause Care: Actions Needed to Help Ensure Quality Care and Patient Education.

Nearly half of women veterans who receive VA health care are at an age when menopause—the permanent end of menstruation—is most likely to occur. VA offers care for menopause symptoms, like hot flashes and issues with memory, mood, and sleep.

VA is developing recommendations for providing menopause care, as well as measures to assess how clinicians adhere to them. But the recommendations aren’t complete, and VA couldn't confirm that they plan to monitor clinicians' adherence to them.

Also, VA has menopause educational materials for patients. But 60% of women veterans we surveyed had never seen them.
