With the recent results of the Italian study published in Climacteric, the Journal of the International Menopause Society regarding DHEA and its ability to improve sexual well-being, women may be tempted to jump on the overthe-counter "supplement" to improve their sex drive and avoid hormone replacement therapy. First, it should be understood that DHEA is a hormone. Second,understandings abound regarding hormone replacement therapy and
women need to know more about their choices for hormone replacement therapy.
In 2002, one of the arms of a study called the Women’s Health Initiative was stopped early because of reports that hormone replacement therapy increased the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Women were taken off hormone replacement in record numbers. The news reports about hormone replacement therapy were bad – really bad. They reported over and over that hormone replacement therapy will give you breast cancer or heart disease. This was surprising news to the medical community because doctors had been advocating for hormone replacement therapy, until this time, as a way to decrease heart disease and many other diseases including osteoporosis and others.
