Menopause and Hormones

Menopause and Hormones

Do the risks and benefits of initiating or continuing menopausal hormones (estrogens and progestins) differ in women of menopausal age (40-55) versus older women? What are the alternatives to taking estrogen to relieve menopausal symptoms, e.g.. hot flushes/night sweats, or prevent bone loss?
