Have we been over-reacting to scare stories?
A report听presented to the World Congress on the Menopause in Madrid this week concludes that HRT is safe and effective for women aged 50 to 59 who are in the early years of their menopause. It is a view that contradicts research published within the last six years so what should we听believe?听It is estimated that one million British women听have听stopped taking HRT because some researchers have linked听it to an increase in heart听disease and breast cancer. Current guidelines to British women听not to take HRT beyond five years is "illogical and doing women a disservice" and the five year limit should be lifted say Madrid delegates.听To discuss the HRT dilemma, Jenni is joined by Dr Tony Mander of the British Menopause Society and by Professor Valerie Beral听of the Cancer Epidemiology Unit at Oxford University who has done research into the risks associated with taking HRT.
