Curious if HRT is right for you? Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the basics.
HRT replaces hormones your body stops making during menopause to reduce symptoms and improve comfort.
Hot flashes, sleep issues, mood changes, and irritability are common signs HRT can help manage.
HRT can ease symptoms, improve mood and sleep, and support bone health during menopause.
HRT may slightly raise the risk of breast cancer or blood clots, especially with long-term use.
If symptoms disrupt daily life, HRT might be worth exploring with your doctor.
HRT comes in pills, patches, gels, and even vaginal creams—your doctor can help you choose what’s right for your needs.
Starting HRT around the onset of menopause offers the most benefits with fewer risks.
With proper use, HRT may also help protect your bones and heart as you age.
