The following information is about Hormone Replacement Therapy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy Defined
(HRT) Hormone therapy comes in two forms: a combination of estrogen and a synthetic form of the hormone progesterone (progestin) - a combination known as HRT -- and estrogen replacement therapy, or ERT, when estrogen alone is prescribed. HRT is typically given to women who have not had hysterectomies because estrogen is known to increase the risk of uterine cancer. The addition of progestin decreases estrogen's effects on the uterine lining, thus reducing this risk. Both HRT and ERT are available in a variety of applications: pills, creams, skin patches, vaginal ring and injections. Recent major scientific studies have found significant health risks, including higher risk for breast cancer, in postmenopausal women using a form of estrogen plus progestin hormone replacement therapy (or combination HRT).
