Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)
HRT involves the administration of hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and sometimes testosterone to replace the hormones that naturally decline with age. These hormones can be delivered through various methods, including oral pills, patches, creams, gels, injections, or implants, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences.
