HRT
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment used to alleviate symptoms associated with hormonal deficiency or imbalance, particularly during menopause or following surgical removal of the ovaries. HRT can effectively relieve menopausal symptoms, improve genitourinary health, preserve bone density, and potentially reduce the risk of certain health conditions. However, HRT also carries risks and considerations, and treatment decisions should be individualized based on a thorough assessment of benefits, risks, and patient preferences. Women considering HRT should discuss their options with a healthcare provider to make informed decisions about treatment.
