[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Correct me if I’m wrong but HRT still increases cancer and stroke risk, even if not as much as previously thought. Everyone makes their own choices. But every time I feel like it would be great to make the hot flashes go away, I remember that a stroke would be MUCH worse, and I decide again not to take HRT. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/STROKEAHA.121.038659 [/quote] Have you also avoided oral contraception, as the risk factors seem even higher for oral contraception? Also, none of the doctors who prescribed my birth control have ever mentioned this risk, which is concerning to me. [/quote] I took the pill for a while and I also think people are cavalier about the stroke risk for the pill. Also lots of other unpleasant side effects of the pill. As a young woman I switched to the ring (less hormones) then to a copper IUD. [/quote]
