According to the International menopause society, Bio identical Hormone Therapy is termed as a safe process for younger women. It negates the old theory and clearly states that it doesn't increase the risks of coronary heart disease, but instead it prevents young women from developing one.
According to the International menopause society, Bio identical Hormone Therapy is termed as a safe process for younger women. It negates the old theory and clearly states that it doesn't increase the risks of coronary heart disease, but instead it prevents young women from developing one.
The society developed a consensus statement in collaboration with the European Society of Cardiology, highlighting the following points. These points have been described in simple words for you to easily understand what has been communicated.
Patients interested in BHRT should know the following:
* Physicians are recommended not to use BHRT on women suffering from cardiovascular disease just to prevent them from heart attacks and strokes.
* BHRT maybe a little effective in relieving menopause symptoms among women, but it may not be effective in lowering cardiovascular risks.
The collaborative parties concluded the consensus with eight points in total, among which five were directed towards the spread and prevention of cardiovascular disease and the remaining three described the Hormone Replacement Therapy.
The three points relating to BHRT included:
1. BHRT relieves menopausal symptoms among women.
2. HRT is not contraindicated (risky) in women with hypertension and in some cases it may even reduce blood pressure.
3. HRT is contraindicated in women with a history of myocardial infarction, stroke, or pulmonary embolism.
The group also disclosed that cardiovascular disease is the top most killer of women in the Western world.
