Bioidentical hormones show promise in managing menopause effects

This study followed 107 postmenopausal women for one year to see if bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) helps reduce menopause-related health issues. Participants received transdermal estradiol and, if needed, progesterone as part of their regular care. Researchers compared their bone density, cholesterol levels, and mammogram results to women not on HRT. The goal was to understand if long-term use of bioidentical hormones can improve health outcomes during menopause.
