Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may be prescribed to treat severe symptoms and discomforts. Estrogen replacement therapy lasting longer than 8 years has been associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. Some researchers have theorized that hormone use increases a woman's tendency toward uterine cancer. Other research shows that conjugated estrogens, in combination with medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera), help reduce the risk of later cervical cancer. Vaginal dryness is a side effect of menopause. The cause of endometriosis is unknown, but it usually affects women between the ages of 25 and 45 years and is not related to HRT.

Answer to Question 2

B
