Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment used to alleviate symptoms associated with menopause. It involves the administration of hormones, primarily estrogen and sometimes progesterone, to compensate for the natural decline in these hormones as women age. While HRT can be effective in managing menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness, it has sparked debate regarding its association with breast cancer.
