Less than 3% of post-menopause women use commercially produced hormone therapy. However, increasing numbers of women dealing with hot flashes, insomnia, painful sex, and loss of libido are using non-FDA-approved hormone pellets. Millions of women have no idea that they are using a form of hormone therapy that is unregulated and associated with side effects such as an enlarged clitoris, and male pattern baldness, as well as an increased risk of hysterectomy.
