About Hormone Replacement Therapy
HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy is a treatment approach that is used to provide women with adequate amounts of the female hormones - estrogen and progesterone- as their own natural production subsides in the body with age. HRT can be used in many conditions, but it is most commonly used to help women alleviate the symptoms of menopause. The duration and severity of symptoms during menopause can vary, but most women suffer from uncomfortable hot flashes, sweating, abdominal pain, mood disturbances among others. HRT helps women replace their reduced hormones, thus reducing all these symptoms.
