Menopause and risks of estrogen
In recent days have been published in the prestigious journal Lancet, the results of a huge search that covered almost a million British women and called Million Women Study. Researchers from Cancer Research UK Epidemiology Unit in Oxford have focused on ovarian cancer, which is the fourth cancer in order of frequency among British women.
Roberto Villa, a journalist from Tempo Medico, informs us that they are diagnosed each year about 6,700 new cases involving 4600 victims well.
The study warns that all women in menopause take hormone in a long time, especially after the first four or five years.
This study showed that 40% of cancers diagnosed in women taking hormones for four years more time were represented by three forms of cancer: breast cancer, ovarian endometriosis. In the population of women in development light from the present study the overall incidence of these three cancers among women in hormone therapy has exceeded 63% than between those who did not use hormones. I repeat however that the data dictionary refers to women who use hormones for at least five years.
All those who abruptly stop taking the risk and their life expectancy are equal to those that have never been used. What to say in conclusion?
It is not the time to put medals in medicine based on natural phytoestrogens natural remedies, homeopathic organotherapy, drugs homotoxicological. But what makes me most angry are all those lights appeared in television programs defending these hormones as a guarantee for a healthy and conscious menopause.
But time is a gentleman and we are confident that the truth will be able to emerge, especially for the good of the female population.
