Menopause : Its Significance and Management, The (1953)

“Menopause: Its Significance and Management” is a technical film designed for medical professionals, exploring female development from childhood through menopause. Combining animation, microscopic vaginal smear analysis, and x-rays, the film examines hormonal changes, osteoporosis, and the effects of estrogen and androgen therapy. It advocates for “sensible management” of menopause, including mild sedation and, in some cases, radiation. The film prominently promotes ethinyl estradiol and androgen treatments, illustrating various administration routes through pills, injections, and suppositories. Clinical footage includes gynecological examinations, bone density assessments, and depictions of women in different life stages, emphasizing the medicalization of menopause and its treatments.
