Hormone Replacement Therapy
hormone replacement therapy (hrt) places women at a greater risk for breast cancer, blood clots, heart attack and stroke
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is medication containing one or more female hormones, commonly estrogen plus progestin. HRT is often prescribed to treat symptoms of menopause such as “hot flashes,” vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disorders, and decreased sexual desire. This medication may be taken in the form of a pill, a patch, or vaginal cream.
Until recently, doctors believed the long-term use of hormone replacement therapy drugs such as Premarin, Provera, and Prempro were safe and protected against osteoporosis and heart disease.
However, recent studies now show that hormone replacement therapy places women at a higher risk for:
- breast cancer
- ovarian cancer
- non-hodgkins lymphoma
- heart attack
- stroke
- blood clots
