Side effects of hormone replacement therapy
Some women may have side effects from HRT, such as unwanted vaginal bleeding, headaches, nausea, vaginal discharge, fluid retention, swollen breasts, or weight gain. Other health concerns include cancer of the uterus and breast. However these side effects are still being studied. Scientists are still studying the risks of taking estrogen alone or in combination with progestin over a long period of time.
Talk to your health care provider thoroughly about the risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy for you.
