Topics discussed: Hormones are chemical messengers produced by various glands and tissues in the body. They play a crucial role in regulating numerous physiological processes and functions, including metabolism, growth and development, mood, reproduction, and sleep.
HRT stands for Hormone Replacement Therapy. It is a medical treatment used to supplement or replace hormones that the body no longer produces in adequate amounts. HRT is most commonly used to manage symptoms associated with hormonal changes, particularly in menopause or after surgical removal of the ovaries (oophorectomy). Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, marking the gradual decline in ovarian function and reproductive hormones in women. It typically begins several years before menopause, which is the point when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months.
