Menopause Hormone Therapy

Menopause Hormone Therapy (MHT), also known as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), involves using medications to replenish hormones—primarily estrogen and progesterone—that decrease during menopause. This treatment can help alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings, and may also protect against bone loss. MHT can be taken in various forms, including pills, patches, or creams. While it can significantly improve quality of life, it’s essential to discuss potential risks, such as heart disease and certain cancers, with a healthcare provider to determine the best approach for individual needs.
