title: A defence against the menopause. Uses and applications of hormone replacement therapy.
abstract: The menopause can result in a number of distressing short- and long-term symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy has been found to combat many of these symptoms. Research indicates that HRT is much safer today than the general public and many of the medical profession are led to believe. HRT is prescribed to far fewer women in the UK than in Europe or America.
