Benefits of long-term hormone therapy

Unless their is a specific reason to quit, HRT should be continued for the rest of your life, as long as it is non-oral & involves estradiol plus/minus testosterone, in natural female-appropriate dosages.  Blanket advisements to quit sooner or soonest are stupid, IMO. Long term benefits of precision forms of HRT include prevention of heart disease, stroke & dementia, prevention or reversal of osteoporosis, sexual restoration, anti-aging cosmetic effects, a longer lifespan, & prevention of breast & colon cancer, but remember this; age is the b greatest risk factor for cancer.  That;s why I coined my own, personal Yogi Berra-ism: "If you live long enough, your gonna die."
