Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Starting hormone replacement therapy 10-15 years after menopause is linked to an increased risk of heart disease. While hormone replacement therapy may offer benefits such as a decreased risk of osteoporosis and decreased hot flashes, the increased risk of heart disease outweighs these benefits when starting therapy 10-15 years after menopause. Hormone replacement therapy may also increase the risk of breast cancer, and therefore is not associated with a decreased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. It is also not linked to a decreased risk of gallbladder disease.
