Abstract/Notes

Abstract: The research presented in this text shows the dangerous risks that have been found to be associated with hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and compounded bioidentical hormone therapy (CBHT). The risks associated with each type of hormone replacement are unique and are considered separately. Alternative therapies for menopausal symptoms discussed include diet, exercise, acupuncture, and supplementation. Evidence shows conflicting information regarding the efficacy of most alternative therapies however, it is the author's belief that the conflicts lie in the research methodology more so than in the individual product's true efficacy. The safest and most effective way to treat menopausal symptoms will be different for each woman and will involve a multifaceted approach incorporating diet, exercise, supplementation, and possibly acupuncture. Hormone therapies should be saved as a last resort option in difficult and severe cases where the alternative therapies have not provided relief for the patient.
