Abstract

In this communication, we attempt to simplify the barriers to menopause hormone therapy (MHT) by suggesting bridges over them. We also create an alliterative rubric to assist in clinical assessment of menopause and the rational prescription of menopausal hormonal therapy (MHT). This will ensure comprehensive management of menopause.
