Question:

There was a story on ABC’s 20/20 program about either the use of hormone replacement therapy in asthma or the effect of hormone replacement therapy on asthma.  If anyone saw it, could you inform me or if you have a link to go to for finding out more, please email me.  Someone’s life could depend on it.  Thanks!

I wasn’t going to say this at all, but since the question came up….. I am a Male to Female Transexual who is very asthmatic…I have heard of some effect of the estrogen and spironolactone treatment is bad on the lungs…but ONLY for people who smoke. Thats why before HRT it is important to quit smoking if you do smoke…besides smoking is bad anyway..I know..I use to smoke..(not a help for my asthma) if I have any other info I will post it..I’m going to ask my futre endo about it anyway -Siobhan Katriona Lynch

I asked a few people about HRT and asthma, and other than what I already stated, there was no other effects on asthma…. -Siobhan
