HRT Safety
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is generally considered safe for most healthy women, particularly those under 60 or within 10 years of menopause. Major medical organizations including the Menopause Society (NAMS) have updated guidance supporting its benefits for many women.
Benefits can include: relief from hot flashes, better sleep, mood stabilization, bone protection, and improved quality of life.
Risks vary by individual - factors like age, health history, type of HRT, and duration matter. It's worth an honest conversation with a provider.
