Life Guide：Don't worry about hormone therapy during menopause

　　As women age, ovarian function gradually declines, leading to a decrease in female hormone secretion and irregular menstrual cycles. When the last menstrual period ends and there is no menstrual period for one year, it can be defined as amenorrhea. The natural process of gradually decreasing hormones is the menopause that many women experience, usually occurring between the ages of 45 and 52. The possible discomfort symptoms caused by reduced secretion of estrogen and progesterone include hot flashes, night sweats, and palpitations due to unstable regulation of vasomotor function, as well as insomnia, anxiety, and other discomfort symptoms. In addition, a decrease in estrogen can lead to thinning of the surface of the vagina and urinary tract, reduced secretion, resulting in vaginal dryness and recurrent infections, and even bone loss and cardiovascular problems.
