More than 60,000 women have spoken. It took a mere 20 years to hear them.
Do you remember the infamous trials by Women’s Health Initiative (WHI)? The one that literally stopped HRT in its tracks.
Come to find out, misleading data from the WHI forever altered the landscape for menopausal women around the world. Overnight hormones became dangerous. Prescribing of these medications came to a screeching halt. Fear settled in and millions of menopausal women were left hanging.
FINALLY, A BREAKING STUDY IS HERE TO CHANGE ALL OF THAT.
After two decades of analyzing data, the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) approves HRT as “appropriate and beneficial” for women under 60 suffering hormonal shifts during menopause.
Studies over the last 20 years highlight the chronic disease investigated by the original WHI studies are much less likely for younger women who have interest in starting HRT during early menopause. And, in fact, hormone therapy appears to result in less than one additional adverse event per 1,000 women, per year! Certainly NOT the dangerous and risky business patients and providers were led to believe.
In fact, women who’d had a hysterectomy (previously only eligible for estrogen alone), had a reduced rate of breast cancer both at 10 and 20 years later as compared to a placebo. That estrogen therapy was not a nice playmate; all-cause mortality rates in women 50-59 went down.
Breathing easier? Me too. But, I think we can all agree that conventional medicine today could do a lot better in lessening the stigma of HRT.
