Happy Sunday!
Here's a blog post by Dr Deb Mathews regarding safety of hormone replacement in menopause.
Please note: this is published by BHRT academy who promotes the use of bioidentical hormones ONLY so there is some inherent bias toward the use of BHRT over HRT that may use non-bioidentical hormones such as Premarin or Prempro.
Why is that important to note?
Because everything you read has bias regardless of who is presenting it. I try hard to present as many perspectives as possible.
In this they note an increased risk of blood clots with oral hormone replacement and advise against it.
Have you used birth control pills? Have you been pregnant? Well then, your risk for blood clots was higher during both of those times in your life! Keep this in mind as you are reading.
So why post this? Because not all biased information is without value. You just need to know that there are options for just about everyone when it comes to hormone replacement and overall, regardless of which treatment you decide to pursue, the benefits largely outweigh any potential risks!
Are you having menopausal symptoms, but you are worried about hormone replacement because you have heard that it is dangerous?
