Abstract

Abstract This chapter reviews the factors at each stage of life that affect timing of the menopause, common urogenital disorders and the decision to have a hysterectomy, and the level of symptomatology experienced during the menopause transition and the decision to take hormone replacement therapy (HRT). In particular, it considers whether developmental processes or early life experiences influence these outcomes in addition to genetic and adult social and biological factors.
