Hormone replacement therapy (HRT): The combination therapy of estrogen plus progestogen, termed hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is used to treat menopause . It reduces or stops the short-term changes of menopause such as hot flashes, disturbed sleep , and vaginal dryness. ERT can prevent osteoporosis , a consequence of lowered estrogen levels. To keep bones strong, ERT should be taken from menopause throughout a woman's life. Stopping ERT allows bone loss to resume.

Vaginal ERT products help with vaginal dryness, more severe vaginal changes, and bladder effects but, since very little vaginal estrogen enters the circulation, it may not help with hot flashes or prevent osteoporosis .

The use of unopposed ERT (ERT alone) is associated with an increase in the risk of endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus).

However, by taking the hormone progestogen along with estrogen, the risk of endometrial cancer is reduced substantially. Progestogen protects the uterus by keeping the endometrium from thickening (an effect caused by estrogen). The combination therapy of estrogen plus progestogen -- hormone replacement therapy (HRT) -- is therefore in common use today.
