Can you tell me please, what are the benefits of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?
- Increased elasticity of the blood vessels, allowing them to dilate (widen) and let the blood flow more freely throughout the body
- Improved short-term symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes and mood swings, as well as vaginal dryness, dry skin, sleeplessness and irritable bladder symptoms
- Decreased incidence of colon cancer
- Decreased risk of osteoporosis and fractures (broken bones)
- Possible decreased incidence of Alzheimer’s disease
- Possible improvement of glucose levels
All My Best,
