Why Should I Think About Hormone Replacement Therapy/Estrogen Replacement Therapy?

Taking HRT/ERT for a short time (perhaps for a few years) may help relieve the annoying symptoms, such as hot flashes, that you may be having during menopause. Taking such hormone supplements for a longer time:

  • will also help delay osteoporosis,
  • may protect against heart disease,
  • should improve your cholesterol levels, and
  • may also help your memory.
