Abstract Women make up 51% of the world's population, and the global population of postmenopausal women is growing. About 25% of these women experience debilitating menopausal symptoms. Since it is important that all health care professionals have a fundamental knowledge of managing women presenting with symptoms related to the menopause, this European Society of Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline was developed. It provides guidance on evaluation and optimal clinical management of women who go through the menopause in middle age, those with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), Early Menopause and those for whom hormones are not appropriate, including women with, or at high risk of, breast cancer. This guideline discusses the benefits and risks of hormone therapy administration as well as summarizing other treatments for menopausal symptoms. Further, the contentious issue of the impact of menopausal hormone therapy in the prevention of chronic disease is considered.
