Hormone Replacement Therapy in Post-Menopausal Women

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for post-menopausal women involves taking hormones to alleviate symptoms caused by decreased hormone levels, specifically estrogen and progesterone. Menopause occurs when a woman's menstrual cycles end, often leading to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. HRT can help relieve these symptoms and may also reduce the risk of osteoporosis. It comes in various forms, such as pills, patches, or creams. While HRT can be beneficial, it’s important to discuss potential risks and benefits with a healthcare provider, as it may not be suitable for everyone.
