Initializing Hormone Replacement Therapy in Women, lecture by
Neal Rouzier, M.D. at the 11th Clinical Applications for Age Management Medicine Conference, Fall 2011, Las Vegas, Nevada
There are many different ways of prescribing hormones for women. In addition, there are many factors that lead one to choose one type over another. Personal history, family history, patient choice, and physician choice can all factor into the decision-making process. A firm understanding of the medical literature (evidence based medicine) is necessary to have the ability to determine which hormone and which delivery method to utilize. This literature review will enable the practitioner to understand the health benefits of the hormones and therefore the importance of maintaining certain levels of hormones in order to assure these hormones' benefits. Although the general recommendation from ACOG and NAMS is to prescribe hormones in the smallest dose for the shortest period of time, hormone deprivation caused by stopping hormones, or not providing adequate levels by optimizing HRT, will prevent the patient from reaping the tremendous benefits of menopausal hormone replacement.
