The menopause does not need treatment-it is a natural, normal part of aging. Women in the menopause can get osteoporosis (weak bones). You can protect yourself from this by exercising and eating lots of calcium (found in dairy products like cheese/milk). If the symptoms of the menopause are really affecting you it is possible that they can be treated-speak to a doctor.
