A member asked:

Will you know you are starting menopause when you are on the pill?

Dr. Shira Miller answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Maybe. : Sometimes the pill can hide when you go into menopause, which isn't good because the pill is not a good treatment for menopause. Other times you may feel hot flashes even while on the pill. The best treatment for menopause is cyclic bhrt.
