Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to supplement or replace hormones that the body may be lacking or producing at lower levels, typically due to aging or certain medical conditions. In menopause, for example, estrogen and progesterone levels decline, leading to symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. HRT can help alleviate these symptoms by replenishing hormone levels in the body. In addition to managing menopausal symptoms, HRT may also offer benefits such as reducing the risk of osteoporosis, improving cognitive function, and enhancing overall quality of life for some individuals. However, it's essential to discuss the potential risks and benefits of HRT with a healthcare provider, as it may not be suitable for everyone and can be associated with certain risks, such as an increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and breast cancer in some individuals. Your provider can help determine if HRT is a suitable option for you based on your individual health history, symptoms, and preferences.
