[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people who think hormone replacement therapy is just a grift from the wellness industry why aren’t you looking at the other side of the grift? It’s not as if women who don’t choose hormone replacement theory are aging naturally, lol

I’m a healthcare policy walk who can answer any question on Medicare spend and is deep on the data of what happens to aging women in America. Anyone who says women are aging naturally are either deeply delusional or deeply denial and throw in a dose of deeply ignorant.

Do you have any idea of the number of postmenopausal women who are on antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, prescriptions sleep aids, hypertension drugs, statins, osteoporosis medications, treatments for UTI, treatments for sexual dysfunction, and the list goes on. Not to mention the care that we spend on frailty from hip fractures, chronic pain meds from bone breaks, hospitalizations caused from UTIs in older women and again the list goes on.

Do you know a lot of dentists will not treat women who are on osteoporosis meds beyond basic cleanings because the mortality rate for any kind of dental surgery for women on these meds is so high? Have you thought about what might happen if you need to go on osteoporosis meds, and something happens to your dental health. You probably should.

While I agree that the evidence does not seem to be there to just put every woman on HRT for primary prevention - if women are having symptoms there does seem to be good evidence that it does help prevent the need for some of these other medical conditions.

I’d be very wary of anyone trying to stop any kind of discourse on HRT. It’s just a grift on the other side and frankly, the spend is a lot higher than what we would spend on HRT. Again, I will stress that I do not think every woman should be on HRT, but to not even entertain the need for research and do not even question The bad advice women got 25 years ago from a deeply flawed that has been retracted, there’s something really disturbing going on there.

There’s zero evidence that HRT’s “prevent” all the things you listed. HRTs are very effective for one thing - hot flashes. There is good evidence for osteoporosis. But women are still going to need statins, SSRIs, therapy, blood pressure meds, even when HRT. [/quote]

Wait. Didn’t you know that HRT is the cure all for anything that happens after you turn 40?

You’re quick with the one liners. That probably feels very satisfying.

One-liners aside, there’s actually ample evidence that HRT helps with the things mentioned. You, too, can look up the studies and meta analyses; some have even been posted in this thread.

But you don’t have to read them! It is absolutely your choice to ignore them and go straight to the next one-liner. Wishing you a good night either way, [/quote]
