Contents: * Stages, effects and implications * Vasomotor function * Osteoporosis * Urogenital changes * Neurological symptoms * Sexuality * Symptom management * Types of hormone therapy * Side effects of hormone therapy * Endometrial bleeding with hormone therapy * Risks of hormone therapy * Tibolone * Alternatives to hormone therapy.
