What Is Hormone Therapy?
In general, hormone therapy is a treatment that modifies an individual's hormone structure by adding, removing, and blocking specific hormones in the body.
In the case of menopausal hormone therapy, the treatment can be delivered into ways. The first is through estrogen-only therapy (ET), wherein estrogen is added to the body to provide relief to menopausal symptoms.
The other method is combined estrogen plus progesterone therapy (EPT), which seeks to provide additional protection for women against uterine cancer.
The type of method will be determined by your primary doctor and supported by the diagnosis based on the results of your laboratory tests.
What To Expect From Hormone Therapy
Hormone therapy takes on a surprisingly simple form. It can be prescribed as a pill or a patch that must be taken or worn every day. These will come with specific dosages that will help facilitate the progress of your treatment.
Estrogen may also be prescribed in the form of topical cream, gel, spray, or vaginal ring. It is recommended that you start with the lowest dose of estrogen for you to relieve your menopausal symptoms while at the same time preventing osteoporosis.
