Hormone Replacement Therapy

---

HRT is a medical treatment designed to alleviate symptoms caused by hormonal imbalances or deficiencies, most commonly during menopause or perimenopause in women, but also for other conditions that affect hormone levels. It involves supplementing the body with hormones—typically estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone—to restore balance and improve overall health. 

• Relieves Menopause Symptoms: HRT helps reduce common symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
• Improves Bone Health: By replacing estrogen, HRT can help prevent bone density loss and reduce the risk of osteoporosis, which is common during and after menopause.
• Supports Heart Health: Estrogen has a protective effect on the heart, and HRT may help lower the risk of heart disease, especially when started early in the menopausal transition.
• Enhances Skin Health: Hormones can help maintain skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, which can be affected by hormonal changes during menopause.
• Improves Mood and Mental Clarity: Many women report improved mood, reduced anxiety, and enhanced cognitive function with HRT.
