Menopause Facts

Calcitonin is a naturally occurring nonsex hormone that increases bone mass in the spine, and is used to treat women who have osteoporosis and who are at least 5 years beyond menopause.
Hormones may reduce your chances of getting thin, weak bones (osteoporosis) which break easily.
Lower hormone levels in menopause may lead to hot flashes, vaginal dryness and thin bones.
You go through menopause immediately if both of your ovaries are also removed at surgery.

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

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.
To relieve the symptoms of menopause, doctors may prescribe hormone therapy which can involve the use of either estrogen alone or with another hormone called progesterone, or progestin in its synthetic form.
Raloxifene is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (SERM), which preserves bone density and prevents fractures (although not hip fractures).
Women facing decisions about menopause and hormone therapy can find comprehensive information in a new booklet from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI).
