Every woman who lives long enough will become menopausal. While menopause is not a disease, the increased mortality and morbidity in menopausal women due to osteoporotic fractures, cardiovascular disease, and coronary heart disease are felt by many to be related to the decrease in endogenous estrogen. Therefore, one possible solution is estrogen replacement therapy. This article reviews recent literature on the complications of menopause and the risks and benefits of estrogen replacement therapy. The article also will discuss how a nurse practitioner can utilize the theory of care seeking behavior to implement this knowledge into practice.
每个寿命足够长的女性都会经历更年期。虽然更年期不是一种疾病，但许多人认为，更年期女性因骨质疏松性骨折、心血管疾病和冠心病导致的死亡率和发病率增加与内源性雌激素减少有关。因此，一种可能的解决办法是雌激素替代疗法。本文综述了关于更年期并发症以及雌激素替代疗法的风险和益处的近期文献。本文还将讨论执业护士如何利用寻求护理行为理论将这些知识应用于实践。
