[quote=Anonymous]My mom went into surgical menopause around age 50 when she had a total hysterectomy/oopherectomy due to excessive bleeding from fibroids, but she immediately went on HRT so she had no real symptoms. She quit HRT cold turkey when there was some research indicating some risks from it (although those research findings have now been tempered with additional studies), and had no significant issues. She has talked a lot about postmenopausal issues (hair loss, vaginal atrophy), but she is also a retired nursing professor. My mom is part off the Silent Generation, but even older Boomers in my extended family talked about perimenopause and menopause symptoms, although much of that came from a family member with no filter who was often TMI in discussing her health.[/quote]
