Menopause Rescue

No Expiration Date! Continuing Hormone Replacement After 65


Listen Later

In this episode of Menopause Rescue, Dr. Polly Watson discusses the evolving understanding of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and its implications for women's health. She emphasizes that HRT does not have a strict expiration date and that personalized medicine is crucial in managing menopausal symptoms. The conversation covers the historical context of HRT, the importance of considering individual health factors, and the need for a nuanced discussion around risks, particularly concerning breast cancer. Dr. Watson advocates for a shift in perspective towards extending health span and improving quality of life for women in menopause.
