Combined Hormonal Therapy

Meaning

Combined Hormonal Therapy (CHT) is a therapeutic regimen that involves the co-administration of two or more distinct hormonal agents, typically an estrogen and a progestogen, to address endocrine deficiencies or manage reproductive health. In the context of menopause, this approach utilizes estrogen to alleviate vasomotor and genitourinary symptoms while incorporating a progestogen to protect the endometrium from estrogen-induced hyperplasia and potential malignancy. This synergistic administration aims to optimize clinical benefit while mitigating specific tissue risks.
