What does hormone therapy do❓What are the benefits❓ Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton has all the answers about the use of hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms.
JoAnn Pinkerton, M.D., hormone therapy was felt to benefit women across the ages to prevent heart disease and cognition at any age. And then the first Women’s Health Initiative was published in 2002 — and that was 20 years ago. Since that time, hormone therapy has been one of the most hotly debated topics around the treatment of bothersome menopause symptoms.
When NAMS reviewed the additional information, they really strengthened the recommendations made in 2017 about age and time for menopause. And they clarified that, for select survivors of breast and endometrial cancer, there is data showing that low-dose vaginal estrogen therapy for women who aren’t helped by lubricants and moisturizers appears safe and improves quality of life.
Hormone therapy doesn't have to be routinely discontinued. In women, age 60 or 65, you can consider them for continuation, but you really need an appropriate evaluation and counseling of benefits and risks. And there is this concern about increased risk of breast cancer with increased duration, longer-term uses.

Judge reinstates North Carolina’s 20-week abortion banAbortions in North Carolina are no longer legal after 20 weeks of pregnancy, a federal judge ruled Wednesday, eroding protections in one of the South’s few remaining safe havens for reproductive freedom. U.S. District Judge William Osteen reinstated an unenforced 20-week abortion ban, with exceptions for urgent medical emergencies, after he said the June U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade erased the legal foundation for his 2019 ruling that placed an injunction on the 1973 state law. “Neither this court, nor the public, nor counsel, nor providers have the right to ignore the rule of law as determined by the Supreme Court,' wrote Osteen, who was appointed to the court by Republican President George W. Bush.
