Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Endocrinology
  • Gerontology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Menopause presents significant health challenges requiring timely intervention.
  • Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is a primary treatment for menopausal symptoms and sequelae.
  • Preventing pathological consequences like bone loss and hyperplasia is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established and potential therapeutic strategies for managing menopause.
  • To evaluate the role of hormone replacement therapy and adjuncts.
  • To discuss contraindications and alternative treatments for menopausal women.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of established and investigational therapies for menopause.
  • Analysis of prophylactic regimens including hormone therapy, calcium, and exercise.

  • Evaluation of specific medications like medroxy-progesterone acetate and salmon calcitonin.

    • Main Results:

    • Estrogen replacement therapy with calcium and exercise is a well-established prophylactic regimen.
    • Medroxy-progesterone acetate is recommended for endometrial hyperplasia prevention in non-hysterectomized women on ERT.
    • Medroxy-progesterone acetate or salmon calcitonin with calcium may be alternatives when ERT is contraindicated.

    Conclusions:

    • Early intervention is critical for menopausal women to manage symptoms and prevent long-term health issues.
    • Estrogen therapy, combined with calcium and exercise, remains a cornerstone of menopausal management.
    • Further research is needed on the risks, benefits, and lipoprotein effects of various menopausal therapies.
