Monday, November 11, 2002Still other doctors are devising their own methods of weaning women from the drugs - suggesting they wear estrogen patches and gradually trim them down to nothing, or increase the interval between pills. In this, however, they are acting on their own. There are no practice guidelines, no rigorous studies on what works best. That's right, there are no guidelines, but there is a long history of women stopping estrogen in the past. We don’t need guidelines for everything. There's no reason to think that weaning gradually off of estrogen would prevent hot flashes. Women who are prone to hot flashes have them no matter how they stop them. And the bottom line of hormone replacement therapy is that it remains the individual's choice. posted by Sydney on 11/11/2002 07:53:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
