So, finally!!! Menopause and suffering women are getting much needed attention. Newer research is uncovering some of the misconceptions and faults with the WHI study and there are treatment options for women that are safe. MHT is the most effective treatment for hot flashes and night sweats. MHT has been shown to increase quality of life, improve sleep and mood.
