Who should take Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
Every woman is unique, and no one should start or stop HRT without consulting her health care provider. Not all women experience hot flashes, night sweats or mood swings during menopause. Those who do usually have the symptoms for just a few years and HRT benefits can be considered to outweigh the risks in some instances for a short period of time. Research shows that HRT does lower a woman’s risk of broken bones. If your health care provider feels HRT would be right for you, you will be monitored closely to be sure that it is working for you.
