What is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and when is it used?
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness. HRT involves the administration of estrogens and/or progestins. It is typically prescribed for women who have significant menopausal symptoms and for those who are at risk of osteoporosis. HRT can be administered orally, transdermally, or vaginally.
