Abstract

By the year 2020, more than 45 million American women will be over the age of 50. Many of these women will wrestle with decisions concerning the use of hormone replacement therapy. This report presents a history of hormone replacement therapy use. The report then addresses the benefits, risks, and relative and absolute contraindications associated with hormone therapy. Concluding sections of the report discuss hormone replacement options which are currently available as well as provider considerations when tailoring a therapy regimen to the needs of the patient.

Clinical guidelines for improving compliance with hormone therapy in Latin American women during the menopausal transition and thereafter.

OBJECTIVE: To provide uniform, objective guidance for physicians and other health care workers in Latin America to enhance compliance with hormone therapy (HT), and to provide a tool for continued medical education and a source for answering clinical questions. METHOD: Literature search using MEDLINE; identification of key relevant publications by a five-member expert committee; creation and validation of a 60-item questionnaire used to survey the opinion of 72 physicians participating in a Latin American symposium, "The Faces of Menopause". RESULTS: On the basis of the validated responses, major points were identified to enhance compliance with HT with specific reference to Latin America, and two algorithms were created to provide practical guidance. CONCLUSION: The present guidelines will facilitate optimal compliance with therapy in Latin American postmenopausal women who opt for HT and for whom HT is indicated.
