Menopausal hormone therapy: Overpromising and underdelivering?
In the previous post, I briefly surveyed the history of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) since the 1950s, analysed the rise of 'the perimenopause' as a textbook example of disease mongering, and sorted the laundry list of symptoms often ascribed to 'the perimenopause' into three categories: those symptoms that are definitively linked to the dramatic changes in reproductive hormones that occur during the menopausal transition; those that may be linked to hormonal changes; and those that are not, or are probably not, caused by hormonal changes but instead by aging and/or poor health and/or psychosocial issues.
As always, your feedback is greatly appreciated:
