What is Combined Estrogen Progesterone Therapy (EPT)?
Combined Estrogen Progesterone Therapy (EPT) is a form of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) used to treat symptoms of menopause. It involves the administration of both estrogen and progesterone hormones to alleviate menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. EPT is primarily used for women who have not undergone a hysterectomy, as the addition of progesterone helps protect the lining of the uterus from potential hyperplasia and cancer.
