Hormone Confusion Creates "Credibility Gap"
Article Abstract:
Researchers discussed hormone replacement therapy (HRT), female sexual disorders, and rheumatoid arthritis, at the Eighth Annual Congress on Women's Health and Gender-Based Medicine. Conflicting studies of HRT have made many women wary of using HRT. Some studies have shown that HRT increases the risk of breast cancer, although the risk appears to be very small. Viagra does not improve sexual response in women, but other potential treatments include phentolamine and apomorphine. Rheumatoid arthritis strikes more women than men, and studies have shown that early treatment can reduce long-term disability.
