Low Libido Menopause

Girlfriend going through Pre-menopause?

My girlfriend is 49 and starting menopause. She already has had a hysterectomy and I believe still has an overie. She is fatiqued, is hotter than hell at night (sweats), low libido, mad at me alot. I love this woman very much and have been researching this condition and am gonna have her visit a doctor for HRT. One thing that concerns me is all the side effects associated with these treatments. Which one's are considered safe and have the fewest side effects? (natural? or synthetic?

The best option is bio identical hormone therapy tailored to suit her requirements. I use estrogel, progesterone and testosterone. You need to have her seen by an endocrinologist.
I haven't had unpleasant side effects - as for the cancer risk it rises from 43 /1000 to 44/ 1000 which is a mathematical blip and the major studies have been rather discredited.
The chances of developing cancer rise with age - not hormones.The treatment will take about three months to fully kick in but improvements will be noticed very quickly.
