Hormone Replacement Therapy as a way to deal with disruptive menopause symptoms can be a very confusing subject amongst both women and medical professionals. There is still a lot of misinformation (based on old research studies, using earlier forms of HRT) resulting in lack of understanding and awareness as to what it is and risks that might be associated with it. HRT has come along way in the 20+ years since these studies were done and for many women it is their preferred choice.
