Hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms; hot flashes, dryness of the vagina and the rest from the list arises from a simple fact of lessened hormonal release and production… The most logical option is to replace that deficiency in order to maintain the balance. It apparently answered the prayers of an overwhelming number of suffering post-menopausal women. The night sweats relatively disappeared through the aid of the therapy and also including the other burdens of this cycle in the female lifespan. Estrogen and Progesterin were the main candidates of the study for the race to a good riddance.

Unfortunately, there is more to it than losing the plague of hot flashes. Through the years hormone therapy became notorious for suspected to lead or cause the increased incidence of breast cancer, dementia, Cardio-vascular crisis and other complications in women undergoing it. . As trial after trial passed, it became evident that HRT in post- menopausal women augments their statistics in the above mentioned medical maladies prior to the treatment. The year was 2002.

In the other hand, it was also discovered to affect the well being of the bones. This result to decreasing possibility for osteoporosis and hip fractures as well as maintaining healthy cholesterol levels

After the controversy, many have deemed HRT as the greater evil over the battle to maintain balance. A good night’s rest, a comfortable female area, mood swing free and a heart that is not racing to the door was forfeited in the process. There are innumerable studies ongoing to prove the judgment of 2002 as final or deserving enough to be reconsidered.
