Author: ConnellNathan T, ConnorsJean M

Journal ArticleAn article published in an academic or professional journal that reports original research or scholarly analysis.
ReviewAn article that critically examines existing research on a particular topic and summarizes the current state of knowledge in the field.

Overview

This review examines the impact of hormonal therapy on venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk. The risk varies depending on the type of hormone, formulation, and route of administration. While oral progestin-only methods seem safe, combined oral contraceptives and postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) increase the risk, particularly with oral formulations. Transdermal HRT and testosterone therapy may not significantly increase the risk, but more research is needed.
