Medem for Hormone Replacement Therapy - Therapeutic Options
Hormone replacement therapy should be considered to relieve vasomotor symptoms, genital urinary tract atrophy, and mood and cognitive disturbances, as well as to prevent osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. It also may be considered to help prevent colon cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and adult tooth loss. Before therapy is instituted, a thorough medical evaluation is appropriate. The medical history should focus on contraindications to estrogen and precautions against risk factors and side effects.
