You are probably one of those women who in the course of recent research have declared themselves “resigned” because can manage to tolerate menopause, or “serene” because they are living through it with apparent calm. In the Italian reality, only 26% of menopausal women seek help from a gynecologist to better manage the symptoms, and to date, only 4% of women are being treated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT), the only therapy with scientifically proven efficacy. Unfortunately, the vast majority of Italian women opt for natural treatments of dubious efficacy.
Almost no one actively looks for solutions, despite the impact of the symptoms: 5% choose hormone replacement therapy, about 10% choose a dietary supplement, and 8% opt for natural/homeopathic products. When choosing hormone therapy, the advice of your gynecologist is (fortunately!) essential.
