What is Hormone replacement therapy?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is medication containing one or more female hormones, commonly estrogen plus progestin (synthetic progesterone). Some women, usually those who have had their uterus removed, receive estrogen-only therapy.
HRT is most often used to treat symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disorders, and decreased sexual desire. It comes in the form of a pill, patch, or vaginal cream.
Alternative Names:
HRT; ERT; Estrogen replacement therapy
