Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment that replaces hormones when your body no longer produces enough due to aging or other conditions. HRT can relieve unpleasant menopause symptoms and address hormone deficiencies to help you feel healthier and more energetic.
A complete HRT regimen contains estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone tailored to your individual hormonal needs and goals. It replaces what your body lacks, bringing hormone levels back up to optimal. The custom combination and dosing create better balance and communication between hormones for improved effects.
Some key points about complete HRT:
- Estrogen – The main female sex hormone that declines during perimenopause and menopause. Estrogen HRT relieves hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, and more. Options include oral, transdermal, and localized estrogen.
- Progesterone – Needed to balance estrogen HRT to protect the uterine lining. Women with a uterus take progesterone or a progestin regularly for 10-14 days each month or cycle.
- Testosterone – Small amounts of this "male" hormone are important for women's health. Testosterone alleviates persistent fatigue, low libido, muscle loss, and cognitive decline. Delivery methods include gels, pellets, patches, and creams.
Why complete HRT is best:
- Relieves more menopause symptoms by replacing exactly what your body lacks
- Balances hormones for optimal physical and mental health
- Individualized combination and dosing to meet your needs
- Convenient regimes like daily pills/gels or pellets every 3-6 months
- May provide heart, bone, and other health benefits

Who needs complete HRT:
Complete HRT can benefit women going through major hormone changes like:
- Perimenopause - Estrogen decline causing period changes and early menopause symptoms, typically starting mid-40s
- Menopause - Final period marks 12 months without periods. Most symptoms occur from hormone shifts the 4-5 years prior
- Postmenopause - Begins 12 months after final period when hormone levels bottom out. Symptoms like hot flashes still possible
- Surgical menopause - Sudden drop in estrogen and testosterone caused by removal of both ovaries and/or uterus
Others that can gain significant relief from properly balanced complete HRT:
- Younger oophorectomized women - Premature ovarian failure or early surgical removal of ovaries requiring hormone therapy until average age of menopause
- Transgender women - Safe feminizing therapy provides needed estrogen during male-to-female transition
- Some intersex and nonbinary individuals - Where internal or external anatomical sex characteristics don't fit binary definitions
For those with menopausal symptoms causing discomfort or reducing quality of life, complete HRT can help counteract the hormone loss. Restored hormone balance relieves issues now while promoting future health.
