Sorry don't agree with that menopause is a natural event, and many many women produce enough estrogen from their ovaries and adrenal glands to feel well after menopause, it is not a estrogen deficiency, but a lowered estrogen state, just not enough for for the body to be fertile any more.
Of cause there are women who do need HRT, especially women who have had a full hysterectomy.
It is silly to frighten women into thinking they are going to feel awful for the rest of their lives if they don't take HRT.
HRT should be available for women who need it or want to take, but not every woman does and they can be healthy and happy without it.
