he first subject concerns hormone replacement therapy, which became
controversial after the large Women's Health Initiative (WHI). The
average age of menopause is 51 years of age.

The classic symptoms
involve hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, nightsweats, urinary
issues, cognitive functions, sexual dysfunction, and reduced quality of
life. 

The persistence of the symptoms vary greatly among
individuals. Treatment options include estrogens, progestins,
androgens, antidepressants, alternative medicine, and selective
estrogen receptor modulators (SERMS).

Migraine headaches have four phases: 1) the prodrome (beginning); 2)
the aura or visual disturbances that precede the headache; 3) the
headache; and 4) resolution.

The prodrome may vary in
presentation but usually presents as weakness, poor concentration, or a
stiff neck. This phase can last for hours or days.

The aura may present as visual changes and lasts approximately sixty minutes or less.

The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists (ACOG) produce monthly practice bulletins that provide excellent information on interesting topics. They have updated polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), which can be confusing for patients and health care providers. The following information is a condensed version of the bulletin and some of my thoughts.

PCOS generally has three components: elevated androgens, ovarian dysfunction, and multiple cysts on the lining of the ovary. Elevated androgens cause increase in body hair, acne, or elevated hormonal measurements.
