Other disorders of hrt: women with benign breast lumps and women with endometriosis

OTHER DISORDERS OF HRT: WOMEN WITH BENIGN BREAST LUMPS AND WOMEN WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS
WOMEN WITH BENIGN BREAST LUMPS Most breast lumps are benign, and once they have been checked there is no special reason to avoid HRT. If examination of a lump shows any unusual cells or indicates that the growth of cells is abnormal, you are already at increased risk of breast cancer and the lump should be monitored carefully to pick up any change at an early stage. Regular monitoring of breast health by mammography, medical examination and self-examination of the breasts are vitally important.
WOMEN WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS This condition may be reactivated by oestrogen when treatment is started soon after menopause, especially if the menopause was surgical and the hormones are given in implant form. If a woman with endometriosis receives HRT, the patch or oral form of therapy is advisable. In theory the use of progestogen should help to keep the endometriosis under control in the first year after surgery, but this has yet to be confirmed.
