Whatever the cause or circumstance, the conditions women experience before and after menopause are very real and sometimes need medical attention. While 10-15 percent of American women experience no symptoms of menopause, another 10-15 percent become physically or emotionally disabled for various periods of time by some of these symptoms of life changes. In previous centuries few women lived beyond menopause; today women spend at least one third of their lives after menopause. Long-term sequela must be taken into account when making your decision on whatever type of hormone replacement therapy you consider. Each individual has a unique set of circumstances that most be looked at globally before making a decision. What a 38 year old requires whom develops premature menopause with multiple symptom compared to a 55 year old whom has just transitioned into menopause requirements can be completed different even though the condition is the same. At our center we take an in depth look at the risk versus benefit then if HRT is decided we opt for natural or bio-identical hormone replacement.
