Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) has been surrounded by myths and misconceptions, often discouraging women from exploring this life-changing treatment. Let’s clear the air and separate fact from fiction.
Myth 1: HRT Causes Cancer
Fact: While some studies suggested a link between HRT and cancer, modern formulations and personalized approaches have significantly minimized these risks. A healthcare provider can help you navigate these concerns.
Myth 2: HRT Is Only for Severe Symptoms
Fact: HRT isn’t just for managing extreme symptoms. It also offers preventive benefits, such as protecting bone and heart health.
Myth 3: HRT Isn’t Safe for Older Women
Fact: While age is a factor, newer guidelines suggest that HRT may still be appropriate for older women, depending on their health profile and the timing of therapy initiation.
By addressing these myths, we empower women to make informed choices about their health and well-being.
