Hormone Therapy Linked to 24% Increased Risk of Dementia

An increase was observed even in individuals who used it for a short term around the age of menopause; despite the unclear causal connection, it is imperative to explore these findings more extensively in future studies. Menopausal hormone therapy could be linked to a higher risk of dementia and

#Opill is a once-a-day pill containing only #progestin.

Experts estimate Opill is about 93% effective at preventing #pregnancy in reallife use, higher than real-life efficacy of other easily accessible birth-control methods, such as condoms (87%).

But in 2002, a single study, its design imperfect, found links between hormone therapy and elevated health risks for women of all ages. Panic set in; in one year, the number of prescriptions plummeted. Hormone therapy carries risks, to be sure, as do many medications that people take to relieve serious discomfort, but dozens of studies since 2002 have provided reassurance that for healthy women under 60 whose hot flashes are troubling them, the benefits of taking hormones outweigh the risks. The treatment’s reputation, however, has never fully recovered, and the consequences have been wide-reaching. About 85 percent of women experience menopausal symptoms.
