Hormone therapy does not increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, or premature death in women during menopause.. What conclusion did researchers from the USA come to.

Menopausal women should not be afraid of hormone replacement therapy. Researchers found that it does not increase the risk of tumors, cardiovascular disease, or premature death.. Note that studies on the benefits of hormone replacement therapy were suspended back in the 1990s, when it was found that these pills can harm women's health, which exceeds the benefit. Then it turned out that among the fair sex who took combination pills with hormones, there were more cases of breast tumors, heart attacks and strokes. In the group of tablets with estrogen, a greater number of strokes was recorded.

However, in the subsequent observation period, which lasted 18 years, it was proved that despite these risks, women on hormone replacement therapy have exactly the same mortality rate from cardiovascular diseases and breast cancer as those who took a placebo. In this regard, experts argue that hormone therapy is safe for use by women who would like to alleviate the symptoms of menopause.. Scientists from the Harvard School of Health analyzed the mortality rate of more than 27,000 women aged 50 to 79 years, some of whom took part in those same studies of the 1990s.

Hormones were once called the elixir of youth for menopausal women, as they were thought to offer many benefits, such as strengthening memory and lowering the risk of heart disease.. Studies conducted 20 years ago showed that a number of drugs for hormone replacement therapy lead to the opposite effect and harm the health of women, causing heart disease and cancer.. After that, a sharp decline in the number of women who used these pills began, and now a new study can be called a sufficient argument to reconsider existing views on hormone replacement therapy.
