what is HRT and what is it used for?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to relieve symptoms of the menopause. It replaces female hormones that are at a lower level as you approach the menopause.The menopause, sometimes referred to as the change of life, is when a woman's ovaries stop producing an egg every four weeks.his is not accurate. You say that HRT has progesterone in it and what is in it is a progesterone substitute-progestogen in England, progestin in the US. This is only because the manufacturers want to patent and exploit the hormone financially.
