HRT

Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is commonly used as a primary treatment for symptoms linked to perimenopause and menopause. It helps restore hormone levels by replacing hormones that naturally decline over time.

HRT may also support women experiencing other hormone-related conditions, including premenstrual syndrome (PMS), premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), postnatal depression, and in some cases polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis.

Most forms of HRT contain estradiol — a beneficial form of estrogen — alongside progesterone, and sometimes testosterone.
