In medicine, estrogen replacement therapy is "the use of hormonal agents with estrogen-like activity in postmenopausal or other estrogen-deficient women to alleviate effects of hormone deficiency, such as vasomotor symptoms, dyspareunia, and progressive development of osteoporosis. This may also include the use of progestational agents in combination therapy."[1]
Estrogen replacement therapy was at one time thought to reduce death from vascular disease due to the findings of the Nurse' Health Study.[2] However, in 1998 the HERS randomized controlled trial showed harm from estrogens among women with coronary artery disease[3] and in 2002 the WHI randomized controlled trial showed harm from estrogens in health women[4].
Stopping estrogen replacement therapy is difficult.[5]
The promotion of estrogen replacement therapy in scientific journals has been controversial due to the role of conflict of interests and ghost writing.
- “You can't just put another name on the article, but you can plagiarize the way we did when we wrote papers in college. What you need to do is give your potential authors Karen's version of the article before the author modified it. Then have your authors modify it for publication nder their name. Wyeth owns Karen's draft, not the final publication”.[6]
Adverse effects
Estrogen replacement therapy may cause urolithiasis.[7]
