[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the “menopause is a hormone deficiency” poster, I think you are the one struggling to understand. This is very similar to saying wrinkles are a collagen deficiency. No, they are a result of the normal aging process.

Loss of estrogen over time has plenty of undesirable effects but it also has some benefits like decreasing your risk of certain cancers and stroke, and adding fat around your middle that can mitigate the risk of hip fractures. You can give people supplemental hormones but don’t pretend they are without risk, because [b]your body was not designed to have pre-menopausal levels of reproductive hormones indefinitely[/b].[/quote]

Citation?[/quote]

Ok I didn’t realize I was dealing with a bona fide nutcase. Have a great day.[/quote]

Ah, you made it up, got caught and got nothing better than name calling.  Got it. [/quote]

DP.  That doesn't need a cite...[/quote]

Sure it does.  You can't say the "body was not designed to have pre-menopausal levels of reproductive hormones indefinitely" without something to back that statement up.  Just because you think it's true, doesn't mean that it is.

From Menopause.org: https://www.breastcancer.org/research-news/nams-updates-hrt-position-statement
[i]women older than 65 years old will be relieved to know that they don't have to stop using hormone therapy for their bothersome hot flashes just because of their age. The data simply do not support it, but individualized evaluation and discussion is recommended.[/i]

From Medical News Today (a reliable source) https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/can-you-take-hrt-for-the-rest-of-your-life
[i]In 2017, the North American Menopause Society updated its guidance, which was to take the lowest dose of HRT for the shortest duration necessary to address menopause symptoms. After reviewing the literature, they concluded that this advice may be “inadequate or even harmful for some women.”[/i]

Here are some other citations indicating that there is no prescribed number of years one can be on HRT:

Valid citations are peer reviewed published randomized controlled trials in high quality journals, not online forums.

If you don’t grasp why that statement doesn’t require a cite no one can help you. [/quote]
