HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment designed to replenish declining levels of estrogen and progesterone, most commonly used to help manage symptoms associated with menopause. HRT can be highly effective in relieving hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and other hormonal changes while also supporting long-term bone health.

How HRT Works
Estrogen therapy is the foundation of HRT and is often the most effective option for symptom relief. For patients who still have a uterus, progesterone or progestin is typically added to help protect against the increased risk of uterine cancer that can occur when estrogen is used alone.

Treatment plans are personalized and may be delivered through several methods, including:
• Daily pills
• Skin patches
• Gels or sprays
• Vaginal creams or rings

Benefits & Uses
• Relieves hot flashes and night sweats
• Improves vaginal dryness and discomfort
• Supports mood, sleep, and overall quality of life
• Helps preserve bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis
• Provides important hormonal support for women experiencing premature menopause or ovarian insufficiency

Risks & Considerations
While HRT offers significant benefits for many patients, it may not be appropriate for everyone. A thorough medical consultation and evaluation are important to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach based on individual health history and goals.
