Considering going back on hrt. is it safe if you have no history of breast cancer? also am at risk for osteoporosis which i think hrt helps.

Check with you Dr.: This is an important question as many women in your age group face this situation. Estrogen replacement or hrt will definitely benefit some women. There are risks and these should be discussed with your primary care doctor or gyn. Factors to consider is osteoporosis, breast cancer family history, genetics and current past medical history.

No: Using hormone replacement in postmenopausal women, for prevention and treatment of osteoporosis is not recommended. hormone replacement up to the age of 60, can be used for treating menopausal symptoms, and usually is not recommended for patient's about the age of 60.
