Menopause Management

Background:

Menopause is associated with estrogen deficiency, leading to symptoms and increased health risks.
Hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) is a primary treatment option for managing menopausal symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the risks and benefits of HRT.
To examine new therapeutic regimens and delivery methods for HRT.

Main Methods:

A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
Studies were identified using a computerized bibliographical search of Medline.

Main Results:

HRT is effective for estrogen deficiency symptoms, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease risk reduction.
Daily estrogen and progestin administration enhances compliance by eliminating withdrawal bleeds.
