| | Estrogens help to delay the loss of skin collagen and are therefore beneficial to the skin. | | | Several studies (Perez Gutthann, Varas-Lorenzo, Miller) have suggested that the incidence of thrombophlebitis increased with estrogen, especially during the first year of therapy. | | | Once the trabeculae are broken, they do not reconnect again, and bone strength may not be gained even if bone density increases. |

| | "The literature has shown that women who take estrogen replacement therapy tend to be healthier than those that don't, however this study points out that estrogen therapy may contribute to conditions associated with systemic inflammation or pain," says Dr. Mamdani. | | | Other recent studies have demonstrated a relationship between estrogen replacement therapy and abdominal pain, osteoarthritis and asthma. | | | One of the classic arguments that traditional medicine offers to convince women to begin or stay on estrogen therapy is osteoporosis prevention, heart disease prevention, and more recently the hope of prevention of Alzheimer's. |
