Mental Health And The Menopausal Woman

Low-Dose Estrogen Replacement Therapy

One of the options to help with menopause symptoms is to use low-dose estrogen replacement therapy. In addition to helping protect against osteoporosis, estrogen replacement therapy can help relieve mental health symptoms like depression. The most common type of estrogen replacement therapy comes in the form of oral medication. The majority of these pills will be taken once per day before a meal, though there are some with more complex schedules for dosages. Oral medications have the most studies regarding their efficacy. Another option for low-dose estrogen replacement therapy is skin patches, which can combine progestin and estrogen. The patch is typically worn on the stomach just below the waistline.
