HRT Safety
Generally yes, for most women - major medical organizations (ACOG, The Menopause Society) now consider HRT safe for healthy women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause. Modern formulations have improved the risk profile significantly compared to older studies.
Key considerations:
- Risks vary by type (estrogen-only vs. combined), delivery method, and individual health history
- Not recommended if you have certain clotting disorders, hormone-sensitive cancers, or cardiovascular issues
- A proper medical evaluation is essential
