In that case, Hormonal Replacement Therapy in Dubai, Abu Dhabi & Sharjah can help in the best possible and beneficial way. 

What is Hormonal Replacement Therapy?

HRT or Hormone Replacement Therapy is a procedure that aims to diminish the symptoms of menopause or post-menopause. Menopause is the period when you have stopped getting periods. As you reach this phase of your life, your body’s estrogen production starts getting lower, resulting in vaginal dryness, hot flashes and more. Then, hormonal therapy comes in for the rescue. This therapy restores the lower level hormones in the menopause phase.

Benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy 

• The primary benefit of hormonal replacement therapy is it alleviates the symptoms of menopause.
• Its long-term use also prevents osteoporosis(a bone disease).
• If the woman opts to get this HRT at the initial menopause, the risks are much lower. And also, there can be cardiovascular (body’s blood circulatory system) benefits with bone protection benefits.
