Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment used to relieve symptoms of hormone imbalance, primarily during menopause in women. It involves supplementing hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, that the body no longer produces in sufficient amounts. HRT can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. It may also protect against bone loss. While HRT can be highly effective, it’s important to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider, as it may not be suitable for everyone. Each individual's health needs and concerns should guide therapy decisions.
