Dr. Susan Hendrix, professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the WSU School of Medicine and a principal investigator for the federal Women's Health Initiative Trials regarding estrogen levels and their affects on women during menopause, is quoted in this article. She says hormone therapy can just delay the inevitable. "What are you going to do when you come off (the pills) - go through it all over again? It's not like you put a Band-Aid on and when you remove the Band-Aid you're through menopause and don't have symptoms anymore." She suggests that women educate themselves about menopause and how to work through it.
