Research on Hormone Replacement Therapy

Research on hormone replacement therapy (HRT) studies how replacing hormones like estrogen and progesterone can manage symptoms of menopause and reduce related health risks. Scientists examine its effectiveness in relieving hot flashes, sleep issues, and bone loss, while also assessing potential risks such as increased chances of blood clots or certain cancers. The goal is to understand who benefits most from HRT, the safest ways to use it, and how long treatment should last. This helps doctors and women make informed decisions to improve quality of life while minimizing health risks.
