Menopause is a natural transition that all women go through, marking the end of menstruation and fertility. The average age for menopause is 51, but it can occur anytime between the ages of 40-55. As estrogen levels decline, women may experience a variety of symptoms including hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood changes, trouble sleeping, and more.
The wide range of menopause symptoms can significantly impact one's quality of life. Without proper treatment, symptoms may persist for years leading to issues like anxiety, depression, heart disease, and osteoporosis over time. Some especially bothersome symptoms like hot flashes can happen over a dozen times per day. Getting an accurate menopause diagnosis is key to receiving the right treatment plan.
Hormone therapy (HT) helps relieve menopause symptoms by replacing estrogen levels in the body. When initiated early on, studies show HT also provides protective effects against heart disease and osteoporosis. There are many misconceptions about the safety of hormone therapy, but when taken correctly under doctor supervision, it is both safe and effective for most women.
