Higher risk of breast, endometrial, and ovarian cancer. OTOH, later menopause is also associated with lower risk of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease and with greater longevity So, it's complicated. [/quote]

I thought early menopause was the one associated with breast cancer.  The premenopausal hormones have a protective effect on the body.[/quote]

The longer you have exposure to the hormones, the higher risk of cancer. But those hormones are also protective from other conditions. [/quote]

And yet all the influencers pushing HRT on every woman deny that there is any link between taking hormones and breast cancer.  Even though it's undeniable the longer you are exposed to hormones, your risk of breast cancer increases.

Every study I’ve read says the cancer risk elevation of HRT is minor. The biggest risk is estrogen-only therapy. The key is to pair estrogen with progesterone. Please cite studies if you are saying otherwise. [/quote]
