Menopause & Hormone Therapy: Facts and Fiction

To relieve the symptoms of menopause, doctors may prescribe hormone therapy. This can involve the use of either estrogen alone or with another hormone called progesterone, or progestin in its synthetic form. Hormone therapy can relieve many menopausal symptoms and prevent or postpone diseases that afflict women later in life, but it might not be right for everyone. Come learn about the risk, benefits, potential side effects, and questions to ask your care provider. If you or a loved one would like more information about menopause, hormone therapy and available options, please join us for a special seminar in the Red Hot Mamas® lecture series titled “Menopause & Hormone Therapy: Facts and Fiction.” The Red Hot Mamas® organization is a leading provider of information and support programs to women to help optimize their health at menopause and beyond. This seminar will be held in the Pebble Creek Conference Room at the Portneuf Medical Center on Tuesday, April 3, 2018. Doors open at 6:00 pm; the presentation begins at 6:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served. To reserve a seat, visit www.portneuf.org/event/rhm or call 208-239-2033.
