    Summary

    Menopause leads to estrogen deficiency, increasing osteoporosis risk. Estrogen replacement therapy effectively prevents osteoporosis and fractures, while non-hormonal treatments offer long-term prophylaxis.

    Area of Science:

    • Reproductive endocrinology
    • Bone metabolism
    • Menopause management

    Background:

    • Menopause is the natural cessation of ovarian function, leading to estrogen deficiency.
    • Estrogen deficiency is linked to vasomotor symptoms, genitourinary atrophy, and osteoporosis.
    • Osteoporosis is a significant consequence of ovarian failure, causing morbidity and mortality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the consequences of estrogen deficiency during menopause.
    • To evaluate the risks and benefits of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT).
    • To discuss non-hormonal treatment options for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of studies on menopause, estrogen deficiency, and osteoporosis.
    • Analysis of the effects of estrogen replacement therapy on lipid metabolism and cancer risk.
    • Evaluation of non-hormonal treatments for postmenopausal osteoporosis.

    Main Results:

    • Estrogen deficiency causes significant health issues, including osteoporosis.
    • ERT has risks (endometrial/breast cancer, thromboembolism) but effectively prevents osteoporosis and fractures.
    • Progestogen addition to ERT reduces endometrial pathology risk.
    • Non-hormonal options include calcium, calcitonin, and 1-alpha hydroxyvitamin D.

    Conclusions:

    • Estrogen replacement therapy is highly effective for preventing postmenopausal osteoporosis and fractures.
    • Hormonal treatment can manage menopausal symptoms, while non-hormonal therapies serve as long-term osteoporosis prophylaxis.
    • Careful consideration of risks and benefits is crucial when managing menopausal hormone therapy.
