Worried about hormone therapy. Let's talk facts. Does hormone therapy always causes breast cancer? It's false. Some types may slightly increase risk. That risk is small about one extra case per 1 thousand women per year that's similar to risks from being inactive or overweight. Estrogen by itself may have little to no increase in breast cancer risk and may even lower if you still have your uterus. Estrogen should always be paired with another medication to protect the uterus. This helps prevent uterine cancer. All estrogen is the same. False estrogen patches and vaginal rings work through the skin and usually have lower clot risk than pills. All FDA-AP approve estrogens help with hot flashes. Hormone therapy isn't one size. FITTS-AL. The right choice depends on you. Talk with our doctors. We'll help you decide what's right for your body.
