Hormone replacement therapies are prescribed medications that contain a mixture of estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone used to replace the hormones that your body stops making in perimenopause and menopause. Hormone therapy is first line treatment for menopausal symptoms, such as hot flashes and vaginal discomfort.
The treatment has also been proven to reduce bone loss and fracture in postmenopausal women.
