How do I decide what to do?

Your strategies coping with the symptoms of menopause will evolve as you discuss your options with your doctor and experiment with treatments. Make sure your doctor knows your medical history, such as risks for heart disease, breast cancer, high blood pressure and osteoporosis. And look forward to a new life. Many postmenopausal women express a fresh sense of abilities, interests, and options available. Years ago menopause meant nearness to the end of life. These days women live an average of thirty years past menopause. Plan to make the most of those years!
