Perimenopause is a period of age-related decline in ovarian function, mostly after age 45, including premenopause and one year after menopause or 2 years after the last independent menstruation. Menopause is the last independent menstruation due to the function of the reproductive system. The date of menopause is set retrospectively, that is, after 12 months of no menstruation. Menopause occurs on average around the age of 50.

Women may experience various symptoms around the menopause (the perimenopause or climacteric) and later, or after hysterectomy particularly if the ovaries have also been removed. The gradual cessation of ovarian function is accompanied by a rise in gonadotrophic and a fall in ovarian hormones. The commonest symptom, hot flushes, occurs in about 75% of such women.1 Most symptoms are mild and relatively short-lived but some are severe and incapacitating. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) aims to replace the deficiency in endogenous hormones with exogenous oestrogen. This article looks at its role in preventing or alleviating menopausal symptoms.
