Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can help reduce night sweats, hot flashes, and other symptoms of menopause. It can also reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Some types of HRT contain both progesterone and estrogen, some contain only estrogen, and sometimes testosterone is also used. Hormone replacement therapy is also used in androgenic therapy and treatment for people undergoing gender transition.

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is primarily used to treat menopausal symptoms and help maintain long-term health. However, this therapy has many different forms of use, depending on the age and health status of the patient to determine the appropriate treatment.

Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT), also known as postmenopausal hormone therapy or hormone replacement therapy, is a treatment your doctor may recommend to relieve common symptoms of menopause and address long-term physiological changes in women.
