Hormone replacement therapy after the menopause – where are we now?

[摘要] The Million Women Study1 generated a renewed concern about the use of hormone therapy, and it is now timely to review the current role of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women around and after the menopause. While therapy may result in improved quality of life, recent studies have provided some clarification of potential risks. Some have even questioned whether such therapy should be prescribed at all, but, assuming that it is still suitable, the recent concerns have implications on what we should prescribe, to whom, and for how long.
