Low-Dose HRT

Meaning

A therapeutic regimen involving the administration of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) at doses significantly lower than those traditionally prescribed to treat moderate to severe menopausal or hypogonadal symptoms. The clinical intent is to mitigate the milder symptoms of hormonal aging and support tissue health by providing circulating hormone levels that are at the lower end of the youthful physiological range or just above the therapeutic threshold. This approach is often favored for patients seeking long-term preventative benefits, such as bone density maintenance and cardiovascular support, with a reduced potential for dose-dependent side effects. Precise titration and frequent monitoring are essential components of this strategy.
