Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) restores hormone levels to relieve symptoms caused by hormonal declines, such as those experienced during menopause.
It effectively reduces hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, and mood swings by replenishing estrogen and progesterone. While HRT improves menopause-related symptoms, its impact on longevity remains complex and depends on individual health factors.
Long-term HRT use has been linked to both benefits and risks. It may lower the risk of osteoporosis and colorectal cancer but could also increase the likelihood of certain cancers, heart disease, and strokes.
The decision to use HRT should consider personal health history, symptom severity, and potential long-term effects. Current guidelines recommend using the lowest effective dose for the shortest duration necessary to manage symptoms safely.
