Menopause affects millions of women. Menopause is characterized by the end of menustraton and fertility, the average age is 50. Perimenopause occurs usually about 8 to 10 years prior to menopause. Common symptoms during the menopause / permenopausal perioid include:

• Loss of libido
• Hair loss
• Fluid retention
• Wrinkles
• Memory loss
• Slow cognition
• Fatigue

Hormone replacement therapy has been shown to improve depression, anxiety, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and overall sense of well being.

You may have heard that BHRT is not safe, but this is not correct. With every type of treatment the risk versus benefit of therapy must be evaluated. However, BHRT when used appropriately can help to reduce symptoms related to menopause / perimenopause.
