Menopause Facts

  • You go through menopause immediately if both of your ovaries are also removed at surgery.
  • One recent study found that estrogen alone or estrogen plus progestin used on a sequential basis increased the risk of ovarian cancer, while estrogen plus progestin used continuously did not increase ovarian cancer risk.
  • Lower hormone levels in menopause may lead to hot flashes, vaginal dryness and thin bones.
  • The female hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are important in regulating the menstrual cycle and having a successful pregnancy, are produced by the ovaries, two small oval-shaped organs found on either side of the uterus.

Hormone therapy (HT)

If used properly, hormone therapy (once called hormone replacement therapy or HRT) is one way to deal with the more difficult symptoms of menopause. It's the only therapy that is approved by the government for treating more difficult hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Hormone therapy should NOT be used solely to prevent heart or bone disease, stroke, memory loss, or Alzheimer's disease.

There are many kinds of hormone therapies so your doctor can suggest what's best for you. As with all treatments, HT has both possible benefits and possible risks; it is important to talk about these issues with your doctor. If you decide to use HT, use the lowest dose that helps and for the shortest time needed. Check with your doctor every 6 months to see if you still need HT.

HT can help with menopause by:

* Reducing hot flashes
* Treating vaginal dryness
* Slowing bone loss
* Improving sleep (and thus decrease mood swings)

For some women, HT may increase their chance of:

* Blood clots
* Heart attack
* Stroke
* Breast cancer
* Gall bladder disease

Menopause Facts

  • Recent findings about risks of long-term menopausal hormone therapy do not apply to use of birth control pills, which have not been found to increase breast cancer risk.
  • Hormone therapy is the most effective FDA approved medicine for relief of hot flashes, night sweats or vaginal dryness.
  • In 2002, the WHI estrogen-plus-progestin study was stopped because of an increased risk of breast cancer and because, overall, risks from use of the hormones outweighed the benefits.
  • Alendronate (brand name Fosamax) and risedronate (brand name Actonel) are bisphosphonates, drugs that slow the breakdown of bone, prevent fractures, and may increase reverse bone loss.
