After a decade of rancorous debate over the risks and benefits of menopausal hormone therapy, experts from more than a dozen top medical organizations worldwide have finally come to something resembling a consensus. What did they decide, and why are women still baffled? What is menopausal hormone therapy? Also called hormone replacement therapy, its a treatment for women in the throes of menopause, the inevitable period of life when estrogen naturally declines. Taking estrogen or a combination of estrogen and another hormone, progestin, the synthetic form of progesterone, can alleviate some of the symptoms of menopause, including hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia and vaginal dryness, said Atlanta endocrinologist Scott Isaacs. Women typically hit menopause around age 51. Why is hormone therapy controversial? Hormone therapy has been under intense scrutiny since 2002, when a large study called the Womens Health Initiative reported that taking additional hormones specifically the combination of estrogen and progestin increased the risk of blood clots, stroke, breast cancer, heart attacks and gall bladder disease for some women. For a woman with a uterus, estrogen treatment alone raises her chance of getting endometrial cancer. The researchers abruptly halted the study, concluding that risks outweighed benefits.
