How do you find a provider specializing in menopause?

My experience with my primary and gynecologist has been that all of my complaints, whatever they are from insomnia, thyroid nodules/cysts, weight gain, joint pain, depression, dryness, etc., have all been blamed on menopause. I am 66 and have been complaining for more than 10 years. I was given Estradiol cream to use 2x a week. Not sure if it has achieved the desired outcome. Still atrophied, still dry. They have not been willing to do anything else due to breast cancer risk, they said it is a fact of life. I am frustrated with all of my doctors.

@komiskey10 Do you carry a gene linked to breast cancer? Is there a NP near you with her own practice in menopause care + weight loss? That's the trendy business in and around Atlanta. Some women insert an Estradiol suppository then rub a compounded Estradiol/Estradiol +Testosterone/DHEA cream on externally.
Do you have a urologist? My urologist was the first person to start me on vaginal estrogen and care about my bladder pain.
Can you switch to a different obgyn practice?

Do you have a history of breast and/or ovarian cancer in your family or they making a statement about menopausal women in general?
