Description
Summary:Based on the analysis conducted by the World Health Organization regarding the life expectancy in 35 Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, South Korea’s life expectancy is predicted to rank first in the world by 2030, with the life expectancy for women reaching 90.82 years. In other words, the importance of women’s health and the quality of life (QoL) after menopause is increasing. The most effective treatment for vasomotor symptoms (VMS) and genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) is menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), which is also effective in preventing osteoporosis. MHT is an effective therapy that offers more advantages than disadvantages for women aged less than 60 years or who have had menopause for less than 10 years. Therefore, the purpose of these guidelines is to provide help by sharing accurate knowledge and treatment methods regarding MHT based on recent research findings.
