According to a recent Danish study, women who undergo hormone replacement therapy after menopause are at a meaningfully higher risk of developing ovarian cancer. A Reuters report states that the study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, comments that women who took hormone replacements were 38 percent more likely to develop ovarian cancer than those who did not. This follows a study that was conducted ion 2002 by the Women’s Health Initiative, which produced similar findings.
We encourage our readers to be very careful when taking any medication. No women should undergo hormone replacement therapy or other kind of therapy without first seeking the advice of medical experts. Doctors should warn patients of potential side-effects and should not prescribe drugs unless it is proper to do so in light of all risks and benefits.
