Complications of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is commonly used to manage symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause and certain medical conditions that affect hormone levels. While HRT can offer significant benefits, such as relief from hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and prevention of osteoporosis, it is not without risks. Understanding the potential complications of HRT is vital for both patients and healthcare providers to make informed decisions about treatment plans. Cardiovascular Issues One of the most significant concerns with HRT, particularly with long-term use, is its potential impact on cardiovascular health. Studies have indicated that certain forms of HRT, especially those involving combined estrogen and progestin, may increase the risk of blood clots, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism. Additionally, HRT has been linked to a potentially increased risk of stroke and heart disease, particularly in older women or those who have pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors. Breast Cancer  The use of HRT, especially combined estrogen and progestin therapy, has been associated with an elevated risk of breast cancer. Although the risk is generally considered to be low for women using HRT for a short duration, long-term use or starting therapy later in life may contribute to a higher incidence of breast cancer. The type of hormone therapy, dosage, and the duration of treatment are critical factors in determining the level of risk.
