  Abstract

Menopausal symptoms and their management are a common presenting complaint. Due to media hype and inconsistent reporting, there are many misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and alternative therapies. This article outlines the physiology and clinical effects of the menopause and the indications and implications of HRT. It will cover natural and surgical menopause and will not cover other metabolic and genetic causes for ovarian failure.
