  • This is an individual thing. Every women should have the right to make their own choices without feeling pressured or guilty. Most women feel pressured to take HRT because they are told their health relies on it or that it will get rid of all their symptoms. This isn't necessarily true. There are risks and it doesn't have the same effect for all women. But it can be beneficial to women who have extreme symptoms or some health concerns. Just like anything else, this is up to the individual on whether they want to take it. You should also avoid it if you have certain health concerns that could be made worse. That being said, some women can't take it. So where does that leave those women? Carmen is here to help women like this or make sure those taking it, still support their health.
