Hormone Replacement Therapy is used by many women to help relieve the uncomfortable symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes/night sweats, increased number of urinary tract infections, skin dryness, bone loss, and mood swings (possibly magnified because of the effects of insomnia).
When menopause happens as a result of surgery (as in hysterectomy), the sudden drop in hormone levels cause even more severe symptoms than if menopause were to occur naturally.
To restore the balance of estrogen and progesterone levels many women opt for Estrogen Replacement Therapy (ERT), Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), or Natural Hormone Replacement Therapy (NHRT).
NHRT uses bio-identical, or plant-derived, hormones rather than synthetic ones. Each type of hormone replacement therapy has its own benefits and risks. For instance, when used for more than 4 years, there is a slightly greater incidence of breast cancer when estrogen is used without progesterone. Ovarian cancer, blood clots, heart attack and stroke are also slightly more prevalent in users of HRT. Speaking with a qualified medical professional is the best way to determine if hormone replacement therapy is right for you.
