The solution was hormone replacement therapy. The history of hormone replacement in women has seen many swings in popularity over the past few decades. In 1991 the <em>National Institutes of Health (N.I.H.)<\/em> launched the Women\u2019s Health Initiative (WHI) study designed to test the effects of hormone therapy on heart disease, bone fractures, breast cancer and colon cancer. In 2002 the study was stopped because the Provera group was associated with a slight increase in the incidence of breast cancer, heart attack, stroke and blood clots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millions of women in the U.S. stopped their hormone out of fear and they entered into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.healthywomen.org\/content\/blog-entry\/how-tame-hot-flash-no-hormones-required\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"\u201chot-flash hell\u201d (opens in a new tab)\">\u201chot-flash hell\u201d<\/a>. A recent careful re-analysis and follow up review of the data has revealed that the actual risks of breast cancer, stroke and heart disease were NOT increased over time and were, in fact decreased; especially in women who were perimenapausal when they initiated hormone therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a decade of fear and confusion regarding the risks and benefits of estrogen replacement therapy, medical studies have now clearly established its safety and its health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you would like more information on menopause, contact Dr. Gordon C.
