  Choosing whether or not to have hormone replacement therapy is a very personal decision. Some women give glowing accounts of the benefits - better hair and skin, more energy and vitality - while others are worried about the side-effects - the risk of serious health problems, plus headaches, bloating and so on. So you need to be well-informed about all the options, and the factors that will affect your personal choice. Dr Anne MacGregor, a specialist in women's hormones, explains what HRT can do, the benefits of choosing between different brands, pills versus skin patches, possible side-effects and risk factors, and advice about how to get the benefits without using drugs. There are charts to help you weigh up your own risks and priorities, and make the right choice for you. This new edition includes the latest information about new drug treatments and research findings.
