outdated information. elevated risks are taken into consideration in tailoring specific therapy, but it’s looking like mht is a lot safer / more beneficial than previously thought.
i would add, there are more benefits to mht than preventing osteoporosis, namely - heart health, preventing dementia, and generally improving quality of life.
Possibly, I’m not up to date on the latest research, but if so it hasn’t made its way into the guidelines. The risks are significant based on my understanding so I would be surprised. There are selective estrogen modulators with lower risks but they aren’t that effective for osteoporosis.
While that’s a nice effort, the post remains inaccessible, and the only remedy is for OP to fix their post (easiest remedy: link to source).
To explain, opening every inaccessible post to maybe find a detached, buried comment of unclear reliability demands inequitably more of the disabled user than everyone else, so it isn’t a remedy.
Post needs accessibility.
Isn’t this a case for hormone replacement therapy? I thought physicians recommend it nowadays.
The risk of cancer and clotting with hormone therapy outweighs the benefit of preventing osteoporosis, so it’s generally not used

A tweet from Davey Maher Fitness (@David_Maher) reads:
“If men lost 20% of their skeleton by 50, there’d be billion-dollar task forces overnight.
But when women’s bones crumble after menopause?
It’s just called ‘aging.’ No scans. No BHRT. No urgency.
Just Mickey Mouse bloodwork & ‘take your calcium, honey’ — & pray you don’t snap a hip.
This is medical neglect.
Demand better.”

“This post about osteoporosis and bone loss — and the differences between females and males — triggered me in my tracks.
Agree or disagree with the methodology, what struck me most was this:
A non-physician male recognizing and calling out the massive discrepancy in how we talk about, study, and treat bone loss in women.
This is the kind of awareness and conversation we need more of.
Because women deserve better.”
