There are other scenarios that warrant the label of menopause such as a complete hysterectomy, oophorectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy, or damage to the reproductive system from medications, radiation/chemo and procedures that render a woman menopausal, even at a young age. In these scenarios, women are left without the capacity to produce hormones and are left in a state of menopause, even at a young age and require hormone replacement therapy for a resolution of symptoms. Key points to remember: • Menopause is not a phase – it’s a lack of hormone production that remains for life • You don’t have to put up with these symptoms – hormone therapy will help! • Seek the guidance of a physician who specializes in hormone replacement therapy of all kinds – let’s find a long term plan to suit your needs and lets you live your best life!
