Hormone Therapies & High Risk Humans

In the recent Everything Hormones, we discussed the “myths” of not prescribing hormones for certain categories of high-risk patients, though providers need to understand the science and individualize it, such as those with:

• Hyper-coagulable genetic disorders like Factor V Leiden

• High-risk cardiac patients like post MI, stroke, or with congestive heart failure

• High-risk survivors of hormonally driven cancers with a focus on breast and prostate cancers
