Wellsprings: HRT Risks vs Benefits
The webpage at [wellspring.health/hrt/risks.html](https://wellspring.health/hrt/risks.html) is designed to provide evidence-based, personalized advice on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) risks. It allows users to input specific parameters—such as age, hysterectomy status, time since last menstrual period, and presence of any concerning symptoms—to receive tailored information regarding the benefits and potential risks associated with HRT.
The site offers visual representations of risks over 5- and 10-year periods for conditions like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, venous thromboembolism (VTE), and stroke. These visuals compare baseline risks without HRT to added risks with HRT, helping users understand the potential impact of therapy. Additionally, the webpage provides links to reputable sources, including the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines and the British Menopause Society, for further reading.
Overall, this resource aims to support women in making informed decisions about HRT by offering personalized risk assessments and access to authoritative information.

Recommendations:
- HRT can be considered for postmenopausal women with a history of MI, primarily for symptom relief.
- Individualized assessment of risks and benefits is essential.
- Transdermal estrogen is recommended to minimize thrombotic risk.
- Non-androgenic progestogens, such as micronized progesterone or dydrogesterone, are preferred.
