I do have minimal symptoms and they've not been debilitating for me. I do realize that there are some women who have a very tough time with the symptoms of menopause and for those I totally understand their choice to allow their doctor to prescribe something to help them over the hump. Otherwise I feel it's best to leave things alone.

I'm not a proponent of hormone replacement therapy, so my standard treatment was to allow nature to take its course.

Your treatment would depent on how severe your symptoms are. If you are having severe bleeding or hot flashes then the doctor could treat you with bio-identical hormones. Otherwise there is no reason, in my opinion for any treatment. Have your bone density checked too.
