Diagnosing premature menopause usually involves a review of symptoms, and in some cases, blood tests. This eMedTV article discusses blood tests used to diagnose premature menopause, which measure the level of hormones (such as estradiol) in the body.
HRT (hormone replacement therapy) uses estrogen, or estrogen with progestin, to treat menopausal symptoms. This eMedTV segment offers an in-depth look at the benefits and risks of taking HRT, and answers common questions about the treatment.
