Hormone replacement therapy, also known as HRT, is a very controversial subject when it comes to women's health issues.

Here is great article on the topic from Dr. Josh Trutt of PhysioAge. 'IS THE UNEVEN REPORTING OF HRT STUDIES A “WAR ON WOMEN”??' It certainly shines some light on an interesting topic, which needs to be further discussed. http://truttmd.com/is-the-reporting-of-hrt-studies-a-war-on-women/

August 26, 2011 - 6:19amWell, I wasn't depressed But I am now. The only thing that matters to my husband is SEX and I know that the only reason that this was pulled up on my computer is that. I wasn't researching this, but I guess he was. I recently has an hysterectomy and for some reason sex now hurts. It has been three months, and I don't always tell him no. I hurt and suffer through it for him.
