Tuesday, October 05, 2004"Approximately 65 percent of women on (hormone replacement therapy) stopped therapy after the (Women's Health Initiative),"said Dr. Isaac Schiff, chair of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists Task Force on Hormone Therapy. 'Two years later, reports suggest that about 1 in 4 women who stopped (the therapy) went back on it because it still offers the best relief for menopausal symptoms. 'So we're moving back to an appropriate balance -- accepting that (hormone therapy) has risks, but recognizing that it can be appropriate for conditions like hot flashes so long as women are informed about the risks and weigh their decision with their doctor,' he added. posted by Sydney on 10/05/2004 07:33:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
