It's no suprise that hormones for women who are going through menapause involve health risk. I have seen several of these commercials for women to take certain drugs to help with the side effects of menapause. Each one lists numerous side effects( very quickly) at the end of each commercial.
This article proves that these hormones can cause several types of cancer especially in women who are in their sixties and older. A study is being done to find out what combination of hormones might be best and have the lowest risk factor but they really suggest that women try an alternative option rather then risk the chance of cancer or other symptons.
It feels like so many prescribed drugs have deadly side effects so what is the point of risking it when there are other healthy options out there? Or why do people risk so much for something as simple as menopausal pains?

It seems as of our society today is so quick to pop a pill for anything. It is becoming the American way. We tend to only car for a quick fix of something that has possibilities, even if it may cause other pains later on. Plus, we tend not to do much research on the medications we take. A friend or doctor might recommend something for us to take, and then all of a sudden we want to get hooked on this drug thinking it is the answer to our prayers. It all gets back to the mentality of laziness.
For someone who encroaches closer to the menopause years and, yes, further away from youth, I am starting to have a better understanding of just how our female hormones tend to turn on us. If you really think about it, the only pleasant thing that this extra surge of estrogen women have is the possibility of giving life (and unless you're an old-fashioned Catholic or present-day Mormon, that entails maybe one to three collective years of a woman's life.) Unfortunately, controlling hormones isn't as simple as going on or off of birth control as a lot of young women do. When you break out in a terrential downpour of sweat in the middle of church and have people staring at you with either a look of symphathy or horror on their faces, then tell me there should be no reason to seek a cure in the form of medicine to help stop embarrassing episodes like that. When your body goes out of whack with no notice, one will try just about anything to get a symblance of normalcy back (even if the fix is a questionable med.) Just remember, though, not everyone reacts the same to the same treatments. What gives someone else trouble might be the miracle cure (without side affecs) that a desparate woman might be looking for.
