What is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a system of medical treatment for surgically menopausal, perimenopausal and to a lesser extent of postmenopausal women.

Hormone therapy is the administration of supplemental conjugated hormones to treat hormonal deficiency states, or for therapeutic use. An example would be a woman taking estrogen and progesterone to relieve menopausal symptoms.

To combat the problems associated with menopausal symptoms, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) became a popular-albeit controversial-treatment to consider. Because our hormone levels drop as we age, it was thought that injecting hormones could be a way of staying young. The problem with HRT is that it's linked to very serious side effects.

Some HRTs have been linked to increased vein clotting-which can escape to the lungs-cancer, and heart attacks. Although I can't recommend HRT as a first-line therapy, I haven't given up on it in the future. Those women who are prescribed HRT need to take aspirin before taking estrogen.

A small percentage of women are prone to making potentially fatal clots when they take hormones, so aspirin can help prevent clotting.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
