title: Consensus statement for non-estrogen-based treatments for menopausal symptoms.
abstract: Non-estrogen-based therapies can be used for the treatment of hot flushes, for symptoms of urogenital atrophy and for lack of sexual desire and/or fatigue not improved by estrogen treatments. Treatment choice should be based on up-to-date information and targeted to individual women's needs. Non-hormonal therapies are useful particularly for women with estrogen-dependent disease such as breast and endometrial cancers.
