Hormone Replacement Therapy – A Blessing or a Curse?
by
One of the fastest-growing areas of medicine is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). For decades, the most common form of these treatments involved attempting to manage the distressing symptoms of menopause in women. It is possible that these treatments caused a higher risk for cancer and heart disease.
Today, doctors are offering what they call “Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Therapy”. These treatments include using growth hormones and male sex hormones to treat everything from sexual dysfunction, hair loss, weight gain, to depression.
These therapies have been deemed safe, but ongoing studies are yielding different results. A recent case in Catoosa County, Georgia, resulted in an award of damages to a 45-year-old man after he was prescribed testosterone and tamoxifen and then had to be hospitalized for a blood clot in his leg.
