Peri and postmenopausal women in times of coronavirus pandemic

The global pandemic of novel coronavirus disease 2019 has transformed health care around the world. Physicians and health-care providers face a great challenge regarding medical management notably women going through the perimenopause or those who are postmenopausal, some of them with medical comorbidities. Cancer care and screening have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19 which may have direct effects on oncological treatments. Furthermore, a major concern during the periods of social isolation involves the relationship between couples. Our attention on health and health care during this unprecedented crisis should reflect this reality, and I believe we can learn extraordinary lessons.
