A member asked:
Mum diagnosed with premature menopause.doc ask to do hrt, she's just 45. is there any side effects of this therapy? and is this a must ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not always necessary: Hrt can help a number of problems. Women who take hrt generally feel better and maintain their bone density better but there are risks including cardiovascular risks and a slight increase in the risk of breast cancer. The decision whether or not to use hrt is a balancing act that is individualized for each patient.
