It's been 10 years since one of the most significant papers in women's health was published -- a study on the risks and benefits of estrogen plus progestin in healthy postmenopausal women.

The recent Pfizer jury award is sure to scare many women. Whether or not to take estrogen and or progesterone is a very personal decision that needs to be individualized.

Once again we are returning to the question of whether menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increases breast cancer risk.

The most recent scientific studies prove that men who don't treat their testosterone deficiency are the ones at risk for a very naturally occurring disease: death.

The authors of the study imply that menopause is linked to a decline in libido for women, and that they need to take a drug to correct that. But I'm not aware of any literature supporting this.
