Introduction

The term hormone replacement therapy is generally accepted to mean treatment of postmenopausal women with a combination of estrogen and progestin. The fact that it is referred to as hormone replacement therapy implies that such treatment should be with hormones that are identical to those that were secreted by the ovaries before menopause. It is not known, however, whether this is necessarily so—or even if it may be preferable to use other treatment.
