Menopause is not a disease, and even though one can make an attempt to treat symptoms like hot flashes and dry vagina without medication, you are still losing the protective benefits of estrogen. At menopause, your body stops producing estrogen and you lose all the benefits of it.
Given the pros and cons, it’s important for every woman to consider her options and make her own choices. You need to consider your family history and your overall health. Women with suspected cancer of the breast, or liver dysfunction or disease should not take female hormone replacement therapy.
If your doctor says you are a candidate for female hormone replacement therapy (HRT), you need to weigh the risks and benefits. As a woman, you are ten times more likely to die from heart disease than from breast cancer. Ask yourself, “does the protection against a fatal heart attack outweigh a possibly greater risk of breast cancer?” Is it going to be a better thirty years down the road to have bypassed female hormone replacement therapy when you fracture your hip?
When Dr Goldstein prescribes female hormone replacement therapy, it’s after a long discussion in which he explains everything and helps the patient weigh her risks and benefits. HRT must be tailored to meet the needs and symptoms of each woman with her family history in mind as well.
Dr Goldstein believes it is important that a woman
leaves his office not just with a prescription, but with the answers to her
questions and a treatment designed specifically for her.
