It is essential not to face it with resignation because there are valid remedies for every type of disorder - from replacement therapies for those who can do them to phytoestrogens to drugs for vaginal dryness to therapies for osteopenia... - and above all, you must be able to create a personalized path that takes into account personal risk factors, psychological needs, current or previous illnesses in order to optimize the management of the various aspects.
