Still on Synthetic HRT? Better Read This.

Taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopause, even for just a few years, is associated with a significantly increased risk of developing the two most common types of ovarian cancer, according to a detailed re-analysis of all the available evidence, published in The Lancet. The findings indicate that women who use HRT for just a few years are about 40% more likely to develop ovarian cancer than women who have never taken HRT. The risk of ovarian cancer fell over time after stopping treatment, women who had used HRT for at least 5 years still had a somewhat increased risk of ovarian cancer 10 years later.
