My mother went through menopause. I don't think she opted to take any treatment. I am not aware that any of the women in my family took any treatment. The only difference that I have noticed when she was going through menopause in the early stages was that she wanted me to not wear any sweaters around her. I don't know that treating her symptoms with hormones would have been the right choice for her. Or if I would choose it for myself.
But, I know other women who have been affected more and were taking hormones. But it seemed that they were given the wrong kind because the mood swings were very obvious and sometimes frightening.
