Understanding HRT

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?

Hormone replacement therapy is a treatment that may be used to supplement hormones when levels change or decline and symptoms are affecting a woman's health or quality of life.

Depending on your individual situation, hormone therapy may involve estrogen, progesterone, or other hormone-related treatments. The appropriate therapy, dosage, and method of administration depend on your health history, symptoms, treatment goals, and clinical needs.

HRT is not appropriate for every woman, which is why an individualized evaluation is an important first step. Learn more about Signs of Hormonal Imbalance and Risks of Hormone Deficiency.

🌡️

Menopausal Changes

HRT is commonly considered during perimenopause and menopause when declining hormones cause disruptive symptoms.

⚖️

Hormonal Imbalance

Hormone therapy may also be appropriate in other situations involving hormone deficiency or specific medical conditions.

Individual Assessment

Whether HRT is right for you depends on a complete evaluation of your symptoms, health history, and clinical needs.
