HRT Safety
HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) is generally considered safe for most people when properly prescribed and monitored. Modern research has largely revised earlier concerns:
- Benefits include relief from menopause symptoms, bone protection, and improved quality of life
- Risks vary by individual factors like age, health history, and type of HRT used
- Best candidates are typically women under 60 or within 10 years of menopause onset
- Some risks increase with certain types (e.g., combined oral HRT and breast cancer risk)
Always discuss your personal medical history with a provider before starting.
