HRT GIVES BIG BENEFITS

-

# There are bound to be conflictin­g views on the benefits of hormone replacemen­t therapy following the latest findings from the Institute of Cancer Research which have linked it to breast cancer (Mirror, August 23).

But HRT does what it says on the tin – it replaces the hormones that a woman’s body gradually ceases to produce, thereby easing the symptoms of menopause.

The only way a woman can avoid experienci­ng the menopause is to stay on HRT for the rest of her life but I think the majority of doctors would be reluctant to prescribe it indefinite­ly. Christine Hanks, Woking, Surrey
