Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to relieve symptoms of menopause by replenishing the hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone, that the body stops producing during this stage. HRT helps alleviate common menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep disturbances. It can be administered in various forms, including pills, patches, gels, or creams, depending on a woman's preference and medical history.
In addition to symptom relief, HRT can also help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, which is common after menopause. However, the decision to start HRT depends on individual factors, such as age, health conditions, and personal risk factors. It’s important to consult gynaecologist to assess the benefits and risks, as HRT may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with a history of certain cancers or blood clotting disorders.
