The video addresses questions regarding hormone replacement therapy (HRT), including whether it should be taken or not, whether it should be bio-identical, and if there are synthetic versions available. Dr. Postacı explains that menopause means “one day 365 days after the last menstrual period” and only defines that one day; however, in common parlance, the postmenopausal period is often referred to simply as menopause. He outlines the four stages: premenopause, perimenopause, menopause, postmenopause, from a broad perspective. He discusses the reasons why, statistically, women live longer than men worldwide but face more challenges with chronic diseases, highlighting the importance of estrogen in the fight against these chronic conditions.
