This volume contains the proceedings of a symposium held at the 15th World Congress on Fertility and Sterility in Montpelier, France in September 1995. It is an up-to-date clinical text on the benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for menopausal women, including both short-term and long-term objectives. The book contains five chapters by HRT specialists from the fields of obstetrics and gynaecology, endocrinology and women's medical studies. The opening chapter reviews the short-term benefits and risks of HRT. Chapter two analyzes the relationship between oestrogen/progestin replacement and coronary heart disease. Chapter three covers the efficacy and safety of a sequential estradiol valerate/cyproterone acetate preparation. Chapter four presents and the results of a comparative study between Climen and Prempak-C. Chapter five describes the influence of HRT on lipid metabolism.
