BY DR. LAURA BERMAN drberman@bermancenter.com October 9, 2013 4:54PM Hormone replacement therapy was first used in the early 1960s. Since then millions of women have undergone HRT to help alleviate menopausal symptoms hot flashes, low libido, weight gain and depression. The treatment helps to replace hormones such as estrogen, progestin and testosterone that naturally decrease during menopause. Although many women report symptom relief as a result of hormone replacement therapy, the procedure can come with risks. In 2002, the Womens Health Initiative of the National Institutes of Health released findings that linked HRT with an increased incidence of breast cancer, heart attack and stroke. Now, the Womens Health Initiative has released more findings from another long-term study on HRT and its associated risks. Their findings again showed that hormone replacement therapy often poses more risks than benefits, particularly for those women who have a family history of breast cancer, stroke and heart disease. However, the findings werent all negative. The study showed that HRT risks are lowest for women who receive the treatment during early menopause, and that women who greatly suffer from debilitating menopausal side effects might experience an improved quality of life that could be worth the risks … Continue reading →

(CNN) - For years women have been getting conflicting information about whether or not they should seek out hormone replacement therapy to help them with the symptoms of menopause. Now a new study may give women some clear answers. Scientists have just released the results of a major long term study on the safety of hormone replacement therapy or HRT for menopausal women. The bottom line is for most healthy women who have just entered menopause taking HRT short term to battle symptoms is probably OK. But don't take it long term in hopes that it will prevent diseases such as heart disease or cancer. Taking HRT when older poses more risks. Hormone replacement therapy is used to replace female hormones that are no longer produced after menopause. These drugs help prevent hot flashes and night sweats that can affect menopausal women. For decades, doctors thought HRT was also good for women's hearts. To test this, and other issues, scientists decided to conduct a large trial called the "Women's Health Initiative." But the HRT trial was suspended early because women were having serious health issues including higher risks for heart problems, breast cancer and stroke. For this new study, scientists … Continue reading →

Back in 2002, a research study blew apart the widely held belief that hormone replacement therapy protected women from heart disease and other chronic ills. Instead, the Women's Health Initiative study found that taking estrogen plus progestin hormone replacement therapy HRT actually increased a woman's risk of heart disease and breast cancer. The study had a huge effect: Within months the number of women using HRT dropped by almost half. A second WHI study published two years later reinforced the message, finding that taking estrogen alone also increased the risk of stroke, dementia and other problems. But confusion over if, why and when to use HRT has lingered. This week, the Women's Health Initiative published a final comprehensive report on its long, broad and deep look at women and HRT. The study, which was published in JAMA, the journal of the American Medical Association, monitored the health of 27,347 postmenopausal women while they were in the two HRT randomized trials and in the years after. It sums up results that have been published piecemeal in more than 100 articles. Dr. JoAnn Manson has been working on the Women's Health Initiative study for two decades. Shots talked with Dr. JoAnn Manson, … Continue reading →
