Hormonal Replacement Therapy
Hormonal Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment used to relieve symptoms associated with hormonal imbalances, particularly during menopause in women. It involves the administration of hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone, to restore hormone levels to alleviate symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings.
HRT can be delivered in various forms, including pills, patches, gels, or injections. While it can effectively improve quality of life, it may also carry risks, such as an increased chance of blood clots or certain types of cancer. Therefore, it is essential to consult a healthcare provider to determine the best approach for individual needs.
