This study evaluated physicians’ perceptions, practices, confidence, comfort level and prior training in managing menopause. A survey was conducted of a convenience sample of physicians from the Middle East and Africa (MEA) in 2019. We covered knowledge of symptoms, menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), other menopause management strategies and prior training in menopause medicine. Of the 254 participants, 64.2% were seniors in family medicine (36.4%), endocrinology (36.0%), gynecology (15.8%) and internal medicine (13.8%). Fewer than one-third (28.8%) correctly identified the diagnostic criteria of menopause. Almost all recognized vasomotor symptoms (99.5%), vaginal dryness (96.2%) and mood disturbance (94.3%), but to a lesser extent other symptoms. Inconsistency and critical gaps were identified in responses to competence questions on six case studies. They recalled having occasional (43.2%) or no training (19.4%) in menopause medicine and rated their preparedness to treat menopause widely. A total of 66.2% agreed that training is very important. Variation between specialties was identified. Many physicians recognize the importance of education in menopause management, but their responses revealed critical knowledge gaps that underscored the need for comprehensive, evidence-based menopause management.
