Hormone Replacement Therapy: Articles, Blogs and Information on HRT

Featured Article HRT: Stop or Continue? To many women, the choice is obvious: if hormone replacement provides slight relief for some of the uncomfortable stages of menopause but increases their risks of catastrophic disease, then they should stop taking hormones. But for many other women, the choices aren't quite that clear. First, the increased risks indicated by the WHI and National Cancer Institute studies are not huge. Women contract the same diseases that they do without the hormones; they just do so in ever so slightly higher numbers. We take much worse risks by driving on freeways and breathing polluted air in big cities. Whatever you decide to do, the choice should feel right for you. Also, you should understand each of the factors associated with your decision. While doctors can no longer afford the luxury of having long talks with patients to explain procedures and the effects of treatment, you can get referrals to women's health specialists and clinics to explore your options further. continued			Blogs
