HRT guidelines

HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) guidelines recommend personalized treatment for women experiencing menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes or night sweats. It involves using medications containing estrogen and, if needed, progesterone to relieve symptoms and protect bone health. The decision depends on individual health history, age, and risk factors, like blood clots or cancer. Generally, HRT is most effective when started around menopause and used at the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary. Regular medical follow-up ensures benefits outweigh risks, and alternatives are considered if HRT isn't suitable.
