Risks and benefits of hormone replacement after the menopause have been extensively investigated. Although the balance is largely in favour of the benefits, the use of hormone replacement remains limited in both frequency and duration. Women stopping hormones usually explain their decision evoking rather minor side effects. Fear of cancer is more frequently an argument for not starting hormone replacement. Major progress are required to improve acceptability of hormonal replacement after menopause.
绝经后激素替代疗法的风险和益处已得到广泛研究。尽管总体上益处大于风险，但激素替代疗法的使用在频率和持续时间上仍然有限。停止使用激素的女性通常将其决定归因于相对较小的副作用。对癌症的恐惧更常成为不开始激素替代疗法的理由。需要取得重大进展以提高绝经后激素替代疗法的可接受性。
