Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment that helps people with symptoms of menopause. It replaces the hormones that your body isn’t making enough of, especially estrogen. Once your hormone levels rise, most people find relief from their symptoms. HRT can also help with bone loss (osteoporosis and osteopenia), a common condition in people assigned female at birth (AFAB) who don’t have enough estrogen.
There are two main types of HRT: estrogen therapy and combination therapy (estrogen and progesterone). Your healthcare provider will discuss each type with you and recommend what form will work best for you based on your symptoms, medical history, and preferences.
Estrogen therapy involves taking only estrogen. It can be used to treat symptoms such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, and sleep disturbances.
Combination therapy involves taking both estrogen and progesterone. It is usually recommended for women who still have a uterus to reduce the risk of endometrial cancer.
