Premature menopause is menopause that happens before the age of 40 â whether it is natural or induced. Women who enter menopause early get symptoms similar to those of natural menopause, like hot flashes, emotional problems, vaginal dryness, and decreased sex drive.
In the context of the menopause, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the use of estrogen in women without a uterus, and estrogen plus progestin in women who have an intact uterus.
