Abstract

The results of recent studies regarding the influence of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) into the health of women in postmenopause, have brought anxiety and dilemmas among women who use HRT, but among doctors too. Consequences are total individualization of HRT towards the type and difficulty of the symptoms of menopause, usage of the lowest efficient hormonal doses, shorter lasting therapy than the one being recommended so far, but also wider clinical-laboratory treatment of each woman before the start of HRT. There is also a great importance in choosing the way to use estrogens in HRT. Series of already known information as well as more and more recent reports, draw ones attention to the benefits of transdermal application of estrogens in HRT.
