Yes, it is possible to still experience symptoms of menopause while taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The degree and severity of symptoms will vary among individuals depending upon the individual's response to the treatment.
When considering hormone replacement therapy, it is important to discuss with your physician the potential risks and benefits in order to make the best decision for you. Some of the common side effects associated with HRT can include:
It is also important to note that some women may not experience any symptoms of menopause during their transition into post-menopausal years. This could be due to a number of factors such as age, lifestyle, and level of hormones in one's body before the onset of menopause. In addition, other medical conditions may play a role in determining how one responds to hormonal shifts. For those who are symptomatic during menopausal transition, there are a number of treatments available including hormone replacement therapy.
Hormone replacement therapy works by replacing lost estrogen and progesterone through medications such as pills, patches and injections. When these hormones are supplemented back into the body they help reduce hot flashes, mood swings and other common symptoms associated with menopause. This type of treatment typically requires close monitoring by a doctor in order to identify individual responses and adjust dosages accordingly throughout treatment plan progression over time.
