A better understanding of the natural history of the menopause is critical to providing better care. Despite its universality as an event in human female aging the menopause and its biology are incompletely understood. Researchers are becoming increasingly convinced however that the loss of ovarian hormones plays a significant role in the development of age-related problems in women. If women and their physicians had a better understanding of predictors of risk they could make more informed decisions about interventions related to menopausal symptoms cardiovascular disease osteoporosis and gynecologic and breast cancer. Few other recently introduced medical interventions have as great a potential for affecting morbidity and mortality as does hormone therapy which maintains estrogen levels in postmenopausal women to near those of premenopausal women. Hormone therapy has pronounced effects on health risks Some are reduced some are increased and some remain uncertain and these data are interpreted differently by various scientific medical and consumer groups. The debate over hormone therapy focuses on whether it should be used to treat menopausal symptoms for a short period of time thereby reducing any risks associated with long-term treatment .
