Question

HT indicated in menopausal women

• A. Hot flash
• B. Ca breast
• C. Endometriosis
• D. Uterine bleeding

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Hormone therapy (HT) is commonly indicated for managing symptoms of menopause in women. One of the primary and well-recognized indications for HT in menopausal women is the alleviation of hot flashes, also known as vasomotor symptoms.

Hot flashes are characterized by a sudden feeling of warmth, usually most intense over the face, neck, and chest, and they are often accompanied by flushing and perspiration. These symptoms can be distressing and affect the quality of life, making HT a valuable option for many women seeking relief.

Evaluating the provided options in the context of indications for hormone therapy:

• Hot flash: This is a primary indication for the use of hormone therapy in menopausal women to provide symptom relief.
• Ca breast: HT is generally contraindicated in women with a history of breast cancer due to potential risks.
• Endometriosis: While HT may be cautiously used in certain conditions, it is not a primary indication for menopausal women.
• Uterine bleeding: Uncontrolled or abnormal uterine bleeding could be a reason to avoid HT or call for further evaluation rather than indication.

Therefore, the most appropriate indication for HT in the context of menopausal women is Hot flash.
