Preferred term

hormone replacement therapy  

Definition

  • Hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) is a physician-prescribed program of treatment for women who are experiencing hormonal imbalances, during or after the occurrence of menopause. It usually refers to supplementing the body with the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which naturally decline during menopause, to treat the symptoms that follow.
