Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been the focus of intense scrutiny, controversy and debate for years. HRT is the most effective way to ease hot flushes and a range of menopausal symptoms. It carries extra benefits for thinning bones and may lower risk of other serious health problems. But some studies have suggested HRT couldhave a devastating impact on some women’s long-te* health. With so much conflicting information available, many women are now asking whether the risks of HRT outweigh the benefits. In HRT:Everything You Need to Know, Tara arker-Pope explores the scientific, political and social forces that have shaped current thinking about hormone replacement therapy. She goes behind the headlines and the controversy to interpret research data and reveal the real benefits and risks of HRT. In doing so she examines the range of hormone replacement products that are currently available — and alternatives to HRT — so that every woman can make her own, informed decision.

This independent, objective book will help you to understand the most up-to-date research on HRT and will enable you to ask your doctor informed questions so that you can make the right decision for your current and future health and well-being.
