Menopause is the clinical term used after menstruation has ceased for 1 year, after which women are considered postmenopausal. In the last 1 to 2 years before the final menstrual period, estrogen loss accelerates, and menopausal symptoms may become more pronounced. The age range for natural menopause is 40 to 58 years, with 51 being the median age for menopause in the Western world. An estimated 6000 American women transition to menopause every day. As life expectancy continues to extend, an unprecedented number of women will spend 30 to 35 years of their lives beyond menopause.

Menopausal symptoms typically fall into 3 categories (Table 1), with hot flashes being the most common and potentially debilitating. Nearly 80% of women in Western countries suffer from hot flashes, with 30% reporting hot flashes severe and frequent enough to seriously affect quality of life. Emerging research found that severity of hot flashes is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which contributes to early stages of atherosclerosis. The decline in estrogen during this transition also puts women at risk for multiple diseases and other functional abnormalities such as osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease.
