Recent study has shown that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is safe to use during menopause if it is tailored to a woman’s needs and is used for a short while.

HRT is quite safe for women at the time of menopause. Since it alleviates troublesome symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, HRT can make a big difference to a woman’s quality of life and sexuality.
HRT treatment must be tailored to one’s requirement, so it is best to seek the advice of a medical specialist. It is always better to use HRT for a shorter duration and at the lowest dose possible which alleviates symptoms.
