Menopause HRT

Hormone replacement therapy has many facets. There is:

• estrogen replacement therapy (ERT)

• combination hormone replacement therapy (HRT) which is replacement of both estrogen and progesterone

• non-prescription hormone replacement
  

ERT and HRT are best discussed with your doctor. There are many pros and cons that should be discussed with your doctor and most relate to your health and history.

Non-prescription hormone replacement is based on replacement of progesterone using a topically applied cream.

Progesterone is the natural balancer to estrogen. It is necessary for optimum estrogen utilization. Progesterone has other vital roles in a woman's body affecting the:

• heart

• blood vessels

Many women find that supplementing with progesterone allows them to achieve a balance once again.
