The Menopause Practice Standards, created by medical organizations, provide evidence-based recommendations for healthcare practitioners treating menopause. The standards suggest diagnosing menopause based on symptoms alone in women aged 45 and over, without blood tests. They emphasize informing women about resources for managing symptoms and offering treatment options, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), after providing information and support. The standards recommend vaginal estrogen treatment for genitourinary symptoms and regular reviews of treatment effectiveness and side effects. They also highlight the benefits of individualized HRT treatment, monitoring and assessment, testosterone supplementation for low sexual desire, assessing follicle-stimulating hormone levels in women with premature ovarian insufficiency, and the importance of hormone replacement for women with early menopause. Referral to a specialist menopause service is recommended for women with complex medical backgrounds. [Extracted from the article]
