Hormone Replacement Therapy

How it Works...

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replaces female hormones like estrogen and progesterone that decline during menopause or other medical conditions. It works by replacing the hormones that the body naturally produces less of during the menopause transition. HRT can help relieve symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood changes.

• Replenishes hormones:

  HRT aims to restore hormone levels that decline during menopause, primarily estrogen, and potentially progesterone.

• Relieves menopausal symptoms:

  By balancing hormone levels, HRT can significantly reduce the severity and frequency of various menopausal symptoms.

• May reduce long-term risks:

  In some cases, HRT can also help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease, especially when started soon after menopause.
