In this short video, the speaker explains that women who experience menopause before age 40 (premature menopause) or between ages 40 and 45 (early menopause) are a key group that may especially benefit from menopausal hormone therapy (MHT). The early loss of estrogen and other ovarian hormones in these women is linked to higher risks of heart disease, other cardiovascular problems, cognitive decline, osteoporosis, and additional adverse health outcomes. Consequently, MHT can be an important therapeutic option to mitigate these risks for women with early or premature menopause.

Chapters

women who go through menopause at an early age, for example, they have what's called premature menopause or onset of menopause before age 40, or even early menopause, which is between 40 and 45. Those women may particularly benefit from the use of menopausal hormone therapy because that early loss of estrogen and the decline in the ovarian hormones at an early age has been particularly linked to an increased risk of heart disease, other cardiovascular outcomes, cognitive decline, osteoporosis, and some other adverse health outcomes.
