In this short video, the speaker outlines key contraindications for hormone therapy in women, emphasizing that those with a personal or strong family history of breast cancer should avoid hormonal treatments. Additionally, women who have experienced a heart attack or possess multiple cardiovascular risk factors are advised against using oral estrogen pills. The speaker also notes the importance of being aware of non‑hormonal treatment options for those who are not suitable candidates for hormone therapy.

There are non-hormonal options, which it's important women be aware of, because if they're not a good candidate for hormone therapy, let's say they have prior history, personal history of breast cancer, or very strong family history of breast cancer, they want to avoid hormones. If they've already had a heart attack or have multiple risk factors for heart disease, they certainly should not be on oral estrogen in pill form.
