With
growing concern about the use of hormone replacement therapy,
some women are looking for alternative treatments for menopausal
symptoms and preventing postmenopausal cardiovascular disease
and osteoporosis. In observational trials, exercise has
been associated with decreased vasomotor symptoms. One trial
suggested that black cohosh may reduce menopausal symptoms.
Soy has been shown to decrease vasomotor symptoms, lower
lipid levels, and increase bone density. However, large
amounts of soy must be consumed, and it is not clear whether
soy consumption causes a decrease in cardiovascular events
or fractures. The evidence for St. John's wort is equivocal.
Fish
oil is helpful for secondary prevention of coronary artery
disease. |
