Is HRT safe?

After many years of controversy, reviews of medical studies are showing more balanced and positive results for women who need Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) to manage menopausal symptoms. Generally, healthy women with menopausal symptoms are more likely to benefit than suffer from risks associated with HRT, especially if under 60 years of age. And the earlier HRT is used, the better. Of course, HRT must be individualised for each woman after weighing all the pros and cons.
