Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment that involves supplementing the body with hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, to relieve symptoms of hormonal imbalances. HRT is commonly used to treat menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal dryness, as well as to prevent osteoporosis. However, HRT may increase the risk of certain health issues, such as blood clots and breast cancer, so it is important to discuss the risks and benefits with a healthcare professional before starting HRT.
