Estrogen and progestogen therapy in postmenopausal women
Abstract
This Educational Bulletin discusses the effectiveness of hormone therapy (HT) for relieving vasomotor and urogenital symptoms and the side effects associated with such treatment; considers the evidence concerning the effects of HT on the risk of osteoporosis and related fractures and on the risks of coronary artery disease, dementia, and colorectal cancer; and considers the longer term effects of HT on the risks of stroke, venous thromboembolism, and cancer of the breast, endometrium, and ovary.
