Hormone Replacement Therapy Explained

4. New Guidelines For Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy is widely considered safe and efficient to administer to menopausal and postmenopausal women again thanks in part to a 2013 British study. New guidelines focus on a woman’s age, individual decision, and annual evaluation to determine the proper dosage and duration of hormone replacement therapy. New guidelines also take into account premature ovarian insufficiency in which a woman should be on hormone replacement therapy until the average age of menopause. Patients over sixty will be given a lower dosage to prevent cancer risks.
