Comprehensive Analysis of Hormone Therapy for Menopausal Symptoms
Hormone therapy is highly effective in treating menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and night sweats, providing around a 90% reduction in symptoms. However, it may not be suitable for patients with estrogen-sensitive cancers, a history of cardiovascular diseases, venous thromboembolism, or a significant smoking habit. For women in premature menopause, estrogen therapy is crucial unless there are specific contraindications; while for women over 60, non-hormonal options are often preferred over hormone therapy.
