Indications and contraindications of Hormone replacement therapy (HRT)

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is commonly used in clinical geriatrics, especially in the management of menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, and other conditions related to aging. It involves the administration of estrogen or a combination of estrogen and progesterone to alleviate symptoms of menopause and reduce the risk of certain age-related conditions. However, its use is carefully considered, with clear indications and contraindications to ensure patient safety and efficacy.

Indications for Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT):

1. Menopausal Symptoms:
   The most common indication for HRT is the relief of vasomotor symptoms of menopause, such as hot flashes, night sweats, and mood swings. These symptoms occur due to the decline in estrogen levels after menopause. HRT helps restore estrogen levels and relieves these symptoms, improving the quality of life.
