HRT

Meaning

HRT, or Hormone Replacement Therapy, is a clinical intervention involving the exogenous administration of hormones to compensate for endogenous deficiencies, most commonly observed during menopause or in cases of primary hypogonadism. The objective is to alleviate symptoms associated with hormone withdrawal or insufficiency while mitigating long-term risks such as osteoporosis. It requires careful titration to mimic natural physiological patterns.
