Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is underutilized in menopausal women due to physician caution and patient hesitancy, despite its benefits for wellbeing and preventing future pathologies like osteoporosis.

Area of Science:

  • Menopause Research
  • Hormone Therapy
  • Women's Health

Background:

  • Cessation of ovarian activity leads to loss of wellbeing in menopausal women.
  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is evaluated for its indications, contraindications, and compliance.
  • The study addresses the impact of estrogen deficiency on women's health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the indications and contraindications of HRT in menopausal women.
  • To assess the advisability and compliance of HRT.
  • To understand physician and patient perspectives on HRT.

Main Methods:

  • Study included 602 women attending a Menopause Centre.
  • Diagnostic methodology and reasons for HRT prescription were outlined.
  • Kuppermann's nomogram assessed climacteric syndrome intensity.

Main Results:

  • 24.2% of women experienced climacteric syndrome.
  • 27.1% had cardiovascular risk, and 37.0% had osteoporotic risk.
  • HRT was prescribed to only about half of eligible patients due to physician caution and patient diffidence.

Conclusions:

  • HRT prescription rates are low, influenced by physician caution regarding contraindications and patient hesitancy.
  • Alternative therapies are a valid option, particularly for osteoporosis prevention.
  • Physician caution and patient diffidence limit HRT use, despite its indications.
