Let’s explore what recent studies say about the safety of HRT for menopause relief.
HRT replaces hormones that decline during menopause to ease symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
Studies highlight both benefits and risks—depending on the type of HRT, how long it’s used, and personal health factors.
Research shows HRT can significantly reduce hot flashes, sleep disturbances, and mood changes.
HRT helps maintain bone density and lowers the risk of osteoporosis, especially in early postmenopause.
Long-term use, particularly combined estrogen-progestin therapy, may increase the risk of breast cancer.
Oral HRT can increase the risk of blood clots—especially for women with existing health risks.
Balancing the pros and cons of HRT is key—talk to your doctor to make an informed, personalized decision.
Starting HRT later in life may raise the risk of heart disease—timing and personal health history matter.
Connect with women navigating menopause together—share stories, get guidance, and feel supported every step of the way.
