Menopause is the cessation of periods for more than one year after a woman
reaches age 40. Many women experience this transition without any complications
or unpleasant symptoms. But for thousands of women, the transition into
menopause can be debilitating.
The symptoms women frequently experience are related to a lowered production
of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. When the production
of these hormones decreases, numerous body parts are negatively affected,
including:
Urinary tract
Reproductive system
Heart and brain
Bones
Breasts
Skin and hair
Blood vessels
If symptoms of menopause are severe enough to affect a woman’s quality
of life, the use of hormone replacement therapy may be an effective option.
Hormone therapy helps to:
Reduce or eliminate hot flashes
Reduce vaginal dryness and painful intercourse
Subdue changes in moods, skin, and hair
