This would also cause a difference in your normal discharge. A white vaginal discharge can mean that there is a yeast or bacterial infection present. Symptoms of a Yeast infection in women can have different appearances. It can be thin or thick, but normally always white in color. With bacterial infection symptoms the discharge will be off white to yellow in color. You can usually determine how severe the infection is by the depth and texture of the discharge.
The closer the women were to the start of menopause, the less risk they had of suffering from heart attacks. In fact, those who started taking combination hormone therapy (PremProÂ® - estrogen plus progesterone) within ten years of menopause had an 11% lower risk of heart disease than women taking a placebo.
Early menopause typically lowers the risk of most types of breast cancer. For women who reach menopause prematurely, the protective benefits of hormone therapy usually outweigh the risks. Your age, type of menopause and time since menopause play a significant role in the risks associated with hormone therapy. Talk with your doctor about your personal risks.
