I am going through the prem-menopause,and I feel that the help that Yahoo answers give are better then most Dr?

HORMONES CAN HELP TO BALANCE YOUR EMOTIONS AS WELL AS YOUR PHYSICAL SYMPTOMS. HOWEVER THERE IS RISK OF STROKE ESP IF YOU ARE A SMOKER. I HAD A STROKE, I KNOW. THERE IS AN ANTIDEPRESSANT THAT ALSO WORKS WELL FOR HOT FLASHES. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR. THERE ARE ALSO NATURAL HORMONES BUT THEY ALSO HAVE THE RISK OF STROKE. BE CAREFUL.
