Menopause, in itself, is not a disease and therefore, does not require an a priori treatment. Only in the presence of problems or risks which adversely affect the quality of life it is justified, and beneficial, to resort to hormone replacement therapy (HRT). HRT is an effective answer to your menopause problems. It is effective both for giving immediate relief for the most annoying problems and for your social and personal life, both for the prevention of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease, thus contributing to your future well-being. Keep in mind that if you have symptoms, you are more likely to develop osteoporosis and/or cardiovascular disease. In regards to osteoporosis, have you done a BMD to accurately evaluate your mass and bone density?
