HRT- Yes or No?
I had a abdominal hysterectomy finishing year- ovaries conserved. I have be getting hot flushes ( about fifteen!) a daytime, headaches, disturbed sleep and mostly feeling out of sorts for olden times two months or so. I have tried Red Clover, Green Sage and be drinking Soya milk. I am feeling for a while better, but am undecided as to stir down the chemical route of oestrogen. I have no history of breast cancer contained by my family. Should I stick it out or call on the Doc?
Thanks.

This would be a good point to discuss with your doctor. There may be other alternatives to HRT - or I don`t know taking them for a short period of time could relieve.Any dr.s out there? Serious answers solely! No kids!!?
I would go ahead and start HRT. There is a slight increase of risk of breast cancer and heart disease beside HRT. Make sure you are getting your yearly mammograms and monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol.The most modern research I copied from ORGYN.COM is:
The International Menopause Society updates their 2004 statement on hormone therapy for postmenopausal women.
MedWire News: The International Menopause Society (IMS) have updated its 2004 statement on how best to treat postmenopausal women with hormone dream therapy.
Since 2004, observational trials have brought to street light additional information concerning the use of hormones in the postmenopausal time.
This year more than 30 menopause experts reviewed these data contained by an IMS workshop.
They recommend that hormone therapy should be included as piece of an overall strategy to maintain the vigour of postmenopausal women. This strategy will also advise women on their diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol behaviour.
Counseling should convey the benefits and risks of hormone therapy to women surrounded by simple terms, allowing women to breed well-informed decision.
Dosage should be titrated at the lowest effective dose, but in attendance is an urgent need for further research to investigate the relative merits of lower doses, regimens, and routes of authority.
Finally, women younger than 60 years should not worry something like the tolerability profile of hormone therapy. New information and re-analyses show that the benefits are plenty and risks few when therapy is initiated in a few years of menopause.
The IMS concludes that the Regulatory Authorities should review their current hormone recommendations as a priority.
