Many advances in hormone therapies to prevent pregnancy are being developed. These include oral contraceptives, transdermal delivery systems, implants and vaginal rings.

Control Pill Click here to return to the TOP At menopause, a woman's body makes less estrogen and she stops having menstrual periods. This is a natural stage in a woman's life. A lack of estrogen can bring on symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness. Other symptoms can be night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, depression and irritability. It can also increase the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. Because of this, many women take hormone replacement therapy to restore estrogen after menopause. Hormones can be taken in the pill form or by using a skin patch. Click here to return to the TOP
