Hormone Replacement Therapy

Hormone replacement therapy can also be named as the menopausal hormone therapy or the postmenopausal hormone therapy. The main aim of this therapy is to treat menopause. The main hormones used in the HRT are oestrogen and progesterone. Sometimes androgens such as testosterone are also used. Unchecked prescription of oestrogen therapy can cause endometrial thickening which can result in the progression of the cancer. However this hormone replacement therapy should be strictly contraindicated in the conditions such as severe liver diseases, coronary artery diseases, pregnancy, vaginal bleeding and aggressive breast, uterine or ovarian cancers.
