Dubai: Treating symptoms of menopause through hormone replacement therapy (HRT) considered risky by earlier studies is safe to use to some extent, doctors on Saturday said at a Womens Health seminar at the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel. The seminar, organised by the Ministry of Health, is part of the Continuing Medical Education (CME) programme for healthcare providers in the country. A study conducted by Womens Health Institute ten years ago found that menopausal women taking HRT developed an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, heart disease, blood clots and dementia in women aged 65 and above. This gave HRT a bad impression making doctors avoid giving this as an option for treating symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, depression, and sexual dysfunction, among others. I call it a biased study. To me, Im a great advocate of HRT and I think women have to have a good quality of life and that you can give it if there are no absolute contraindications like if she didnt have breast cancer or family member that has breast cancer, or endometrial cancer, or there is no history of DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis), Dr Kauser Perveen Mansour, Senior Consultant Obstetrician & … Continue reading →

Doubt has been cast on research that suggests a decline in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use is linked to a fall in the number of new breast cancer cases. Use of the drugs dropped rapidly after a series of studies claimed using HRT increases the risk of breast cancer. Researchers subsequently suggested that the drop-off in HRT use was directly linked to a decline in breast cancer rates. But experts writing in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care said there is "no clear evidence" of a link. However, the authors said that statistics and time trends "neither back up nor refute the claim". The link between HRT and the disease has proved controversial, with several studies suggesting the finding has been blown out of proportion. But other research has reinforced the association, including two studies in 2006 and 2007. One claimed that between 2002 and 2003 - following the publication of the reports which first raised concerns about the drug and subsequently the decline in use - the numbers of new breast cancer cases fell by 6.7%. The second study showed that the rates of single and combined HRT fell by 58% and 38% respectively between 2001 … Continue reading →

A 2002 study linking hormone replacement therapy to the risk of breast cancer scared scores of menopausal women away from HRT. Now new research, published in the Journal of Family Planning and Reproductive Health Care,reports that "there is no clear evidence that the decline in the use of hormone replacement therapy is linked to a reported fall in the numbers of new cases of breast cancer, as has been claimed," according to a release from the publisher. "Based on the observed trends in the incidence of breast cancer following the decline in HRT use, the ecological evidence is too limited either to support or refute the possibility that HRT causes breast cancer," the authors wrote in the last of a series of five critiques of the published data in three major studies on HRT. In related news, a consensus statement issued by seven major professional societies and published on line in the journals Climacteric and Maturitas stated that hormone replacement therapy is the most effective available treatment for menopause symptoms. An article about the statement in Medpage Today reports that the risk-benefit balance for HRT "tends to be greatest in women younger than 60 or within 10 years after menopause … Continue reading →

The safety of taking hormones to treat the symptoms of menopause has been questioned in recent years, but a new consensus statement from several doctors' groups aims to resolve confusion over how the treatment should be used. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is the most effective treatment for the symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes and sleep problems, but the therapy comes with risks, so it should be used on a case-by-case basis, the statement said. About a decade ago, a large study found that HRT that included estrogen and progestin increased the risk of breast cancer by about 25 percent in postmenopausal women. The finding was so dramatic that researchers stopped the study early and physicians changed how they prescribed HRT. The new statement says that while the therapy comes with risks, its benefits generally outweigh the harm for women under age 60, or those who've been in menopause for fewer than 10 years. The increased risk of breast cancer also appears to disappear a few years after treatment is stopped, the statement says.

By Deborah Kotz, Globe Staff Its been a decade since postmenopausal women were warned off hormone replacement therapy after a large randomized trial called the Womens Health Initiative found that the combination of synthetic estrogen and progesterone caused more heart attacks and strokes than it prevented -- in addition to raising breast cancer risks. But follow-up studies conducted by some of the WHIs leading investigators have since indicated that the benefits of hormone pills outweigh the risks, at least for healthy women in their 50s who are suffering from menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. A series of research reviews published this week in the journal Climacteric questions the wisdom of abandoning HRT altogether. As the journals editors in chief wrote, an entire generation of younger doctors has never prescribed HRT even to those who have dozens of hot flashes a day, drenched sleepless nights, and mood changes that often accompany these symptoms. What doctors should be doing, the editors wrote, is balancing the small risks of hormone use against the improved quality of life that a few years of hormone therapy might provide. Several years ago, my former colleague, Dr. Bernadine Healy -- who initiated the WHI trial when … Continue reading →
