Most post-menopausal women complied with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). However, 27% stopped HRT due to bleeding or fear of long-term complications like cancer.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a common treatment for menopausal symptoms.
  • Understanding patient compliance is crucial for effective long-term management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the compliance rates of post-menopausal women with HRT over a 12-month period.
  • To identify the primary reasons for treatment discontinuation.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 100 post-menopausal women receiving HRT was retrospectively reviewed.
  • Data collected at 12 months post-initial visit included treatment adherence and reasons for cessation.

Main Results:

  • 61% of women remained compliant with HRT at the 12-month follow-up.

    • HRT demonstrates moderate compliance among post-menopausal women over one year.
    • Addressing patient concerns regarding side effects and long-term safety is vital for improving adherence.
