The various faces of menopause
The once widespread use of hormone replacement therapy is controversial and rarely used. There are numerous herbal supplements and phytoestrogens/soy extracts useful for treatment of vasomotor symptoms, mood changes, and libido issues. Over-the-counter vaginal moisturizers/prescription estrogen cream can treat vaginal dryness. Vitamin D supplements, extra dietary calcium and various prescription meds can enhance bone strength.
