		<description><![CDATA[The incidence of breast cancer in postmenopausal women has been decreasing since 2002, probably because so many women have given up hormone therapy, say researchers who assessed the follow-up data from the Women’s Health Initiative.  <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=2061&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When a landmark clinical trial reported in 2002 that the dangers of postmenopausal hormone drugs far outweighed the benefits, many more women turned to bioidentical or natural hormones. These products are widely portrayed in the media and on the Internet as safer than prescription hormone drugs like Prempro and Premarin for the relief of hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=1045&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For several decades, doctors have been prescribing estrogen to older women with urinary incontinence. But new findings show that hormones worsen the symptoms. What's more, they increase the risk of healthy women becoming incontinent.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=928&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bad news about postmenopausal hormones came in increments. In July 2002, the Women's Health Initiative trial was stopped prematurely because the estrogen/progestin combination drug called Prempro was-over a five-year period-causing more diseases than it was preventing. Then eight months later, the WHI produced another unexpected finding: hormone drugs aren't all that helpful to women taking them to alleviate hot flashes.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=207&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Always read the information that comes with your prescription drug. That's the take-home message from the recent announcement that postmenopausal hormones cause more harm than good. The woman who took the time to wade through the multiple pages of tiny type in the "patient packet insert" included* within her estrogen/progestin prescription would not have been surprised at the recent news that this combination causes far more harm than good.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=medicalconsumers.org&amp;blog=7088906&amp;post=279&amp;subd=medconsumers&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
