The Benefits of Early Hormone Replacement Therapy
Replacing hormones early in menopause, specifically estrogen, significantly lowers the risk of cardiovascular diseases by up to 40%. Estrogen serves as a protective shield for various organs, including the heart and brain, and helps maintain bone density and muscle health. Studies reveal that women who receive estrogen within the first ten years of menopause experience improved overall health, and a reduced likelihood of osteoporosis and heart-related issues. This highlights the importance of understanding the positive impacts of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) rather than dismissing it due to misconceptions.
