Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at HOPE Womenโ€™s Hospital

    Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a medical treatment used to relieve symptoms associated with hormonal changes, such as those experienced during menopause. At HOPE Womenโ€™s Hospital, we offer personalized HRT options and guidance to help women manage menopausal symptoms and improve their quality of life.    

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy:

  • Relief from Menopausal Symptoms:
  • HRT can effectively alleviate common menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and cognitive changes.
  • Improved Bone Health:
  • Estrogen replacement in HRT can help maintain bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and fractures associated with hormonal changes during menopause.
  • Heart Health:
  • Some studies suggest that HRT may have cardiovascular benefits, including improved cholesterol levels and reduced risk of heart disease in certain women.
  • Vaginal Health:
  • HRT can relieve vaginal dryness, discomfort, and urinary symptoms, improving overall vaginal health and sexual function.
  • Quality of Life:
  • Many women experience improved quality of life and well-being with effective management of menopausal symptoms through HRT.

Types of Hormone Replacement Therapy:

   
  • Estrogen Therapy: This involves estrogen-only treatment and is typically recommended for women who have undergone hysterectomy (removal of the uterus).
  • Combined Estrogen-Progestin Therapy: This includes both estrogen and progestin (synthetic progesterone) and is recommended for women with an intact uterus to reduce the risk of endometrial hyperplasia (abnormal thickening of the uterine lining).
  • Low-Dose HRT: Some women may benefit from low-dose HRT, which involves using the lowest effective dose of hormones to manage symptoms while minimizing potential risks.
  • Continuous or Cyclical HRT: HRT can be administered continuously (every day) or in a cyclical pattern (with progestin added for a certain number of days each month).
