As the ovaries slowly decrease production of estrogen and progesterone, the disrupted balance of hormones may cause a variety of symptoms to occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the classic symptoms begin during the first stage of menopause, called perimenopause. The experience varies widely by individual, and some women do not experience any noticeable symptoms. However, others have pronounced symptoms and intense discomfort, which may be lessened by working to re-balance hormone levels in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) uses prescription drugs to replace the hormones that the ovaries stop producing during menopause.

Many women seek other options to avoid these risks and the side effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt should also be noted that most of the major prescribed HRT medications do not provide bio identical human estrogen.
