The risk for breast cancer is negligible when you consider the many health advantages of HRT including prevention of dementia, bone loss, heart disease and some cancers along with alleviation of low mood, depression, anxiety, associated self-harm including but not limited to alcohol and drug use and an improvement in sexual drive, confidence, sleep and more. Sadly one poorly conducted study blown up by media decades ago has meant many generations of physicians are fearful of and refuse to touch HRT. It’s created a huge barrier for most women in getting proper treatment.
@@leeannmansfield5254 it is estrogen and progesterone that is made from wild yams. Your body is suppose to accept it more so than synthetic hormones made in the labs.Therefore, many drs say it is safer. It is called Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. Your gyn may know about it.
It was the synthetic progesterone in old studies that caused breast cancer. Supposedly. Estradiol does not and taking natural progesterone with it has a protective benefit
This is misleading. She says if women in 50s are taking oestrogen and progesterone, only 6-9 extra women per 1000 will get breast cancer. To start, it is only 23 women per 1000 that get breast cancer in 50s. Suddenly, instead of 23, we have 29-32 women, that is an increase of 30-40%. I took number 23 from UK statistics, while it is 27 in New Zealand. Still, my point is that the risks are considerable.

I was taking for 4 months and I got a lump in my breast. I do not want to stop.

There is no risk. Breast cancer can occur and not be hormonal before taking Hrt . It's a taboo.
