My menopause began when I was 50 and everything was under control for three years. I suffered from vaginal dryness, complete loss of libido, hot flushes, night sweats, severe depression, weight gain and heavy hair loss. I tried every suggested natural remedy, acupuncture and homeopathy. Despite all this, my symptoms persisted with same intensity and frequency. What worked for you?
For me, answer is HRT. I have now been on it for 7 years and, at the age of 61, I am still fit, healthy and very active. I am aware of the possible risks of HRT but I have no side effects or complications. I believe that quality of life is much more important than anything is.
