Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and Perimenopause
25/09/24 10:26
Perimenopause, the transitional phase leading up to menopause, can bring about a myriad of symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and vaginal dryness. For many women, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) offers relief.
HRT involves replacing the declining estrogen and progesterone levels in the body. This can help alleviate perimenopausal symptoms and potentially reduce the risk of osteoporosis. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if HRT is right for you, as it may carry certain risks, particularly for women with a history of breast cancer or blood clots.
