What is BHRT (Bio-Identical Hormone Replacement Therapy)?
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that helps balance estrogen and progesterone levels during or near menopause. It helps relieve hot flashes, sweating, and other symptoms of menopause. It can also decrease the risk of osteoporosis.
There are risks connected with using hormone therapy. Therefore, hormone therapy should be customized for each patient, factoring in their specific health status and problems, the type of hormone therapy they need, and the dosage and duration of medication the therapy requires. Also, the therapy should be reassessed time and again to get the best results.
