3.incidence of myocardial infarctions

It was shown that risk of heart disease and stroke increases with the use of HRT in postmenopause... Do not put together, guys, role of HRT and estrogens alone...

At the same time, HRT helps treat incontinence in elderly that is due to weakness on urethral sphincter... This is a link to UTI
