Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for Women
Have you ever shared symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, weight gain, or irregular periods with your healthcare provider — only to feel dismissed or told it’s just normal aging or stress? You’re not alone. Many women experience perimenopausal symptoms that are minimized or overlooked, but your experience is real. You deserve a healthcare provider who truly listens, validates your concerns, and offers meaningful support tailored to your needs.
What is HRT?
Hormone Replacement Therapy is a treatment used to replenish hormones that decrease naturally during menopause. It helps ease symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness.
Types of HRT
- Systemic HRT: Administered through pills, patches, pellets, gels, creams or sprays, systemic HRT treats symptoms affecting the whole body
- Local (Vaginal) HRT: Low-dose estrogen applied directly to the vaginal area, targeting urinary and vaginal symptoms with minimal overall hormone absorption.
Benefits
- Reduces menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal discomfort.
- Protects bone health by reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
- May improve mood, cognitive function, and overall quality of life.
- Supports heart health by maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.
- Enhances skin, hair health, and sexual function.
Is HRT Right for You?
Deciding to use HRT is highly individual. It depends on factors such as age, time since menopause, personal and family health history, and the type and dose of hormones used. Starting HRT within 10 years of menopause onset generally offers more benefits than risks.
