HRT

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that restores or balances hormones—like estrogen and progesterone—in people experiencing hormonal changes, often due to menopause or other conditions. It aims to relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal discomfort. HRT can help protect bone density and improve quality of life, but it also carries potential risks, which vary based on individual health and treatment type. A healthcare provider assesses these factors to determine if HRT is appropriate and develops a personalized plan.
