[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s a great post by Dr Jen Gunter explaining that no, not every woman needs to take HRT, and that HRT is not a preventative.

This is just a bad article. It highlights everything wrong with medicine and the hrt problem to begin with.

Here goes. Obgyns take care of certain issues. They are not Alzheimer’s researchers. They are not cardiologists. They are not even primary care docs. It’s 100% unfair (a bit) to make them responsible for providing a therapy that would, 10 years from now, be better for you than a statin. But that’s what papers from top cardiologist journals are saying. Now, will NAMS update its guidance on hot flashes and vaginal dryness as a result? Probably not for years or decades. But docs can/should at least acknowledge the awful, fragmented care we often get running around talking to specialists and never getting anyone that looks at us as while people over a lifetime. And the fact that insurance companies don’t foot the bills for (and thus have no incentive in impacting) our health in our late 60s+ doesn’t help.

Your doc who supposedly is so fact based says there no “guidance” and doesn’t even take the time to define what she’s talking about. I’m only assuming NAMS guidance but it’s highly annoying she’s so flippant. [/quote]
