HRT

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)

Overview

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a trusted medical approach that helps restore hormonal balance during menopause, perimenopause, and other stages of hormonal change. By supplementing estrogen, progesterone, or testosterone, HRT alleviates symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and bone loss — supporting overall well-being and vitality.

Types of HRT

  • Estrogen therapy: Available as gels, tablets, and creams to relieve menopausal symptoms and replenish declining estrogen levels.
  • Progesterone therapy: Oral capsules or tablets help regulate cycles, support uterine health, and are essential to protect the endometrial lining during estrogen therapy.
  • Combination therapy: Blends estrogen and progesterone for complete hormone support while protecting the endometrium.
  • Testosterone therapy: Used in specific cases to improve energy, mood, and vitality.

Why It Matters

HRT offers women the choice to replenish declining hormone levels, restoring confidence and comfort during the midlife transition.

  • Heart Health: Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by maintaining arterial flexibility.
  • Bone Density: Preventing the rapid bone loss that leads to osteoporosis.
  • Cognitive Function: Supporting brain health and reducing the impact of "brain fog."
  • Testosterone therapy: Used in specific cases to improve energy, mood, and vitality.

Yes. NuHer specialists prescribe internationally recognized, India-approved formulations including Transdermal Estradiol (gels and sprays), Micronized Progesterone, Dydrogesterone, and low-dose Testosterone specifically for women. As these are Schedule H drugs, a formal consultation and a valid medical prescription are mandatory.
