DysautonomiaMD: The History of Menopause

It seems that the hysterectomy is still an ultimate alternative to menopause. ?Is this a good thing? ?In a 2004 study, it was found that Counseling and a Second Opinion physician determined that 98% of hysterectomies were not needed. ?Couple that with a 2010 study that estimated that about 500,000 hysterectomies are performed per year in the USA, such that 40% of all women over age 45 do not have a uterus. ?How many of these women are offered or are placed on hormone replacement therapy? ?

Should postmenopausal women, including those with Surgical Menopause, take hormones? ?For many practicing physicians, this is no longer a professional 'debate', it is a public debate that began with the Women's Health Initiative in 1992. ??Today, the issues are clear, as the treatment is individualized. ?Stay tuned for more.

As 2013 nears, it is important to understand that menopause is still a taboo subject for many women, in many cultures, and throughout the world. ?Women are embarrassed to talk about it, and some clam up when the doctor starts asking questions. ?Only after effective rapport is established will some women discuss the subject so that symptoms, time increments, and a proper Medical History can be reported. ?Women need to speak freely about the matter, so that the medical field can determine the problem, and work towards a solution for each individual woman. ?What is it all about? ?Quality of life. ?It's a Quality of Life issue.
