Many women pass through menopause with no problems and no complaints. They should be encouraged to pursue healthy life-styles. For those who do experience difficulties or for those who are at risk for developing problems, the aforementioned treatment options can be considered. At this time, the benefits of HRT appear to outweigh the risks and offer substantial improvement in the quality of life to appropriately selected women. With the realization that women can expect to live one third of their lives after menopause, it becomes clear that it is important to discuss menopausal health issues with each women in order to make the postmenopausal period as enjoyable as possible.
许多女性顺利度过更年期，没有任何问题和不适。应鼓励她们保持健康的生活方式。对于那些确实经历困难或有出现问题风险的女性，可以考虑上述治疗方案。目前，激素替代疗法（HRT）的益处似乎超过风险，能为适当选择的女性显著改善生活质量。随着认识到女性绝经后有望度过其三分之一的人生，显然与每位女性讨论更年期健康问题很重要，以便让绝经后的时光尽可能愉快。
