Answers:
There is nothing you can take to prevent menopause!. Hormones are given to women to ease the symptoms they are having while they go through menopause!. Many women choose HRT or alternative treatments to stop all of the side effects!. You don't have to suffer because there is lots of things that you can do to ease the side effects!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
women only have a certain number of eggs in their ovaries!. Once you've used them up then you get a decrease in estrogen!. Women are given hormone treatments to decrease some of the symptoms of menopause, but theirs no way of stopping it!.
and by the way estrogen replacement by itself causes a high risk for breast cancer, estrogen - progesterone treatments are best because the progesterone dereases the riskWww@Answer-Health@Com

I have to disagree with the poster above me!. Menopause is not caused by having too few eggs in the ovaries!. The ovaries are full of hundreds of thousands of eggs-- more than any woman could ever conceivably need or use in one lifetime!.
Some types of hormone replacement therapy carry very high risks (increased risk of heart attack, stroke, breast cancer, etc) and some do not!. I'm including a link to the Wikipedia article about HRT!. It does a good job of generally explaining the issues without a lot of scientific mumbo jumbo!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

That is called HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) and the studies found that HRT could cause so many health problems!.
Journal of American Medical Association (17 July, 2002)
Risks and benefits of oestrogen plus progesterone hormone replacement therapy in 16,608 healthy post-menopausal women to assess the long term health benefits and risks (JAMA!. 2002; 288(3):321-333)!.
The trial was to run for 10 years but was stopped shortly after 5 years as the overall health risks exceeded the benefits!. Increased risks were seen for coronary heart disease, breast cancer and stroke!. There was a reduction in risk for colorectal cancer, endometrial cancer and hip fractures!.
As many of these increased risk factors are seen as reasons for women to be prescribed HRT, it is expected that these latest results showing HRT resulted in not a prevention but an increased risk for these diseases, will greatly increase the demand for natural alternatives to HRT!.
Using Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to relieve menopausal symptoms was becoming popular as early as the 1960s!. Widespread interest in HRT was likely spurred by the 1966 publication of gynaecologist Robert Wilson
