Press Release Body = Women who use a mixture of estrogen and progestin to control
menopause symptoms could find the symptoms returning when they stop their use,
according to Dr. Christine Reilly MD, a noted authority on the research and
management of menopause.

Recent studies have shown that symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, pain, or
stiffness, more than often return when the use of of menopausal hormone therapy is
dropped, according to Dr. Reilly MD. And other women who did not have symptoms
before developed them after stopping the hormones.

"Before these studies, we knew little about the effects a woman experiences when she
suddenly stops menopausal hormone therapy use," said Dr. Reilly, MD

"Now women are learning that their symptoms might return, even after using these
hormones for more than 5 years."

It is estimated that 2 million women in America alone go through menopause each
year. And the risk to women who use these hormone treatments, including increased
heart disease, far outweighed the benefits such as prevention of fractures.

However, Dr. Reilly emphasizes that there is another alternative to drugs in
managing menopause symptoms.

"Other studies show that good old fashioned exercise may be a safe and effective
alternative to minimize many of the symptoms and changes women experience during
menopause."

Women who regularly follow a program of regular physical activity/exercise are less
likely than inactive women to develop a number of related disorders known as
metabolic syndrome, which often starts at menopause., she points out.

This syndrome, increases the likelihood of heart disease and diabetes, due to
excessive weight, particularly around the midsection; unfavorable cholesterol and
triglyceride levels; prediabetic changes, including higher blood sugar and increased
resistance to the hormone insulin; as well as higher blood pressure.

"In my experience many women are confused and worried about the use of hormone
treatment drugs because of the risky side effects, which include heart disease,
breast and cervical cancers".

That is why an increasing number of women today are looking for a safer way to
minimize menopause symptoms.

discusses many of the alternative menopause treatments available to women.
