In dealing with the symptoms of menopause, you should start by knowing what menopause is all about. A good knowledge of any subject matter takes away its mystery status. It is natural for a woman at a certain stage of her life to experience menopause. When a woman gets older, mostly when she approaches her fifties, it is normal for her to stop producing the sex cells or reproductive eggs, thereby signifying the end of the era of child bearing. This major body change does not occur without offsetting some disturbing conditions as well. Therefore it is most common to have such women experience hot flashes, mood swings, vaginal dryness and other symptoms of menopause. This brings the woman's menstrual period to an end.

The WHI's claim that HRT increases breast cancer risk is incorrect, alarmist, and even if somehow significant would only reflect on the use of oral, non-bioidentical, HRT. Fear of breast cancer should not prohibit physicians or their healthy postmenopausal women from initiating HRT.
