HRT With Oestrogen And Progestin Doubles Venous Thrombosis Risk

HRT With Oestrogen, Progestin Double The Risk Of Blood Clots.

women on HRT with oestrogen and progestin

The scientists found that 167 women on HRT with oestrogen and progestin developed venous thrombosis, compared to 76 women who were on a placebo.

According to the researchers, the likelihood of women developing a blood clot increased as follows:

Aged 60-69: 4.3 times higher risk

Aged 70 or more: 7.5 times higher risk

Overweight women: 3.8 times higher risk

Obese women: 5.6 times higher risk

Over a ten-year period, combined HRT causes an extra 18 cases of blood clots (venous thrombosis) per thousand women, said the researchers.

Experts say this information should not put women off using combined HRT. Rather, women should talk to their doctors and weigh up the pros and the cons. In many cases combined HRT is still the best treatment.
