Menopause
Menopause - Treatment

Text

Natural menopause requires no treatment.

Sometimes ovaries are removed in young women due to a surgical reason and this kind of Menopause is called 'Surgical Menopause'. Surgical menopause that occurs prior to natural menopause may require estrogen or Hormone Replacement Therapy (ERT or HRT).

Not all postmenopausal women need to be treated with HRT.

Estrogen replacement therapy is also a popular treatment especially in developed countries for women to avoid the natural body changes which are equated to 'getting old'. HRT can help to reduce the undesirable symptoms of Menopause such as vaginal dryness and prevent Osteoporosis after Menopause.

Side effects of estrogen replacement therapy are:

Vaginal bleeding.

Breast tenderness.

Nausea.

Vomiting.

Abdominal bloating.

Uterine cramps.

To reduce these risks of estrogen replacement therapy doctors may suggest:

1. Adding progesterone to the estrogen.

2. Adding testosterone to the estrogen.
