Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Filed in archive Menopause by Florence Cardinal on February 2, 2007
One method of easing these symptoms is hormone replacement therapy. However, according to an article on CBS News:
Hormone replacement therapy, a common treatment for menopausal women, is even more dangerous than previously thought, according to a new study.
The Journal of the American MedicalAssociation's study says hormone replacement therapy, HRT, greatly increases a patient's chance of breast cancer.
However, ABC's Eyewitness News tells us that:
After some newly revised guidelines, the short-term use of hormone therapy has been considered safe in easing the symptoms of menopause.
The North American Menopause society says that the therapy is a "viable option for short-term treatment". However, they insist that the revised guidelines do not make fundamental changes to the current recommendations.
