Hormone replacement is a controversial issue in medicine today. Our patients are frequently placed under the "standard of care" umbrella, and withheld from hormonal therapies due to the possibility of associated risks. This lecture will cover the initiation of bio-identical hormone (bHRT) replacement as well as evidence-based prescribing for pre and post-menopausal patients. Clinicians will learn how to address potential side effects of bHRT and be comfortable prescribing bHRT for specific endocrine disorders including endometriosis, PMS, PMDD, PCOS, fibroids and osteoporosis. Controversies associated with bHRT like post-menopausal breakthrough bleeding and breast cancer will also be discussed.
