What medical treatments can ease the symptoms?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) restores hormones that the ovaries are no longer producing.
The treatment is administered to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as vaginal dryness, hot flushes, and night sweats and to minimise the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease.
However, it can cause several side effects such as headaches, breast tenderness, vaginal bleeding, and nausea. It can also increase the risk of thrombosis, breast cancer, strokes, and other serious conditions.
