Menopause Treatment
Menopause is not a disease that has a definitive cure or
treatment. Health care practitioners, however, can offer a variety of treatments for
hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms that become bothersome. Many
prescription medications exist to prevent and control high cholesterol and bone
loss, which can occur at menopause. Some women do not need therapy, or they may choose not to take medications at all during their menopausal years.
