What is hormone replacement therapy? Is there any other way to alleviate symptoms of menopause?

0

A. Hormone replacement therapy is substituting man made hormones that are very similar to the ones the ovaries made prior to the time they ceased to function, known as the menopause. At the present time the only indication for hormone replacement is for vasomotor symptoms, or hot flashes. Half of woman will experience only minor flashes if any at all. However, for many women these symptoms can be quite uncomfortable. They can interfere in the workplace or prevent adequate sleep at night. Sleep deprivation can lead to depression and loss of function during the day.
