Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hormone therapy is associated with increased health risks like breast cancer, stroke, and heart disease. The risks of hormone therapy outweigh the benefits for most women, regardless of age. However, younger women who experience premature menopause or surgical menopause may benefit from hormone therapy to manage symptoms and prevent long-term health problems. Older women who have already gone through menopause are at a higher risk of developing health problems like osteoporosis and may benefit more from other forms of treatment.
