Do most women continue HRT?

It is now recognised that HRT has been the most important advance in preventative medicine since the introduction of vaccines. Patient compliance (adherence to treatment), however, is variable. Great variation in the degree of patient compliance is reported between different centres. In one study only 40% of those women commencing HRT were taking it reliably after nine months. There were a number of reasons for this. Some were anxious about the possible risks of cancer or they had heard stories that HRT resulted in weight gain (these stories are disproven (22). Others were unhappy with side effects such as headaches, 'period' problems or breast discomfort.
