Area of Science:

  • Menopause and Hormone Therapy
  • Gynecological Endocrinology

Background:

  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) guidelines require practical, patient-centered approaches.
  • Effective HRT management necessitates clear protocols for varying patient profiles.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop simple, practical guidelines for hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
  • To emphasize the role of counseling in promoting patient compliance with HRT.

Main Methods:

  • An international round-table meeting convened in the UK in June 1995.
  • Guidelines were developed based on expert consensus regarding HRT preparations and patient management.

Main Results:

  • Treatment selection for HRT depends on uterine status: hysterectomized women receive estrogen alone, while non-hysterectomized women may use sequential estrogen-progesterone or continuous combined therapy.
