MYTH:
Hormone Replacement Therapy is Dangerous!

HIGHLIGHTS:
What are the reasons to consider HRT?

Another great question. What are the reasons that we consider a reason to give hormone therapy? It's hot flashes, vaginal dryness or pain with intercourse, prevention of bone loss and also if you have premature menopause which would be menopause before the age of 45.

So should everyone take HRT? Not necessarily.

However, you have to know that there are some other benefits that we can't say…we can give you estrogen to prevent heart disease but we know that people who take estrogen have less heart disease and we also know in some observational studies that women who take hormone therapy after 65 have less Alzheimer's and and neuro-cognitive disorders like Parkinson's.

We also see that there's an observation that there's a 19% reduction in diabetes so there's other things that hormones do.

Is it a reason to give you hormones? Not necessarily but someone should sit down with you and look at your family history and decide what's best for you.
